Chapter 586: Leave no mouth alive

After defeating the men and horses of Shuoto and Sakhalian, the Ming army captured more than 4,000 war horses.

Now it is not only the Red Banner Army that can have three war horses to transfer, but also Jingying, Jinyiwei, Juyongguan, and Gaojia horses all have double rides.

Huang Han negotiated with Fang Zhenghua and revealed his brewing plan and inventory.

Knowing that Huang Han found out that Jiannu had concentrated his troops, our army had no chance to take advantage of it, and was ready to go out of the customs to pursue Jiannu and Tartar, who were escorting supplies and returning to Liaodong, Fang Zhenghua laughed and fell.

"Dongping Hou, you really dare to think about it! Our family is also suffering from not being able to start, and it seems to be dangerous to go out of the customs to chase and kill Jiannu, but it is actually a Miaoqi.

Even if the Daming Pass is in vain, it is impossible for Jiannu to get through it overnight, and it will always take some time to break through.

Our army also has a two-ride rush that is no less fast than the Houjin army, and it is completely able to go as soon as it is said.

At least a day or two have passed since Jiannu got the news that our army had gone out to chase and kill them and transport supplies back to Liaodong, even if they reacted quickly and immediately pursued, they also started a four-day journey with our army, how could they catch up?

It's a big deal, let's go around Da'ankou and Gubeikou to enter the customs. ”

Huang Han saw that Fang Zhenghua, who had always been bold, supported his decision, and didn't talk to himself about nonsense such as my generation's responsibility to defend the land.

said with a smile: "Jiannu raised troops to chase us, do they dare to bring fewer people and horses?" How many men and horses can be left to continue the robbery? Will it be able to calmly transport supplies and people outside the border?

If we don't attack them, we can also have the effect of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. Moreover, our army pursued into the grassland and Yanshan, and the gains would not be less, and the casualties could not be large. ”

Fang Zhenghua nodded like a chicken pecking at food, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, there are too many Jiannu in Shanxi, and now they are obedient and refuse to divide the troops, why do we have to fight with Jiannu in the pass?"

Anyway, it's the same wherever you kill Jiannu and cut Tartars, let's go after those Houjin troops who have already gone out of the customs, their troops can't be many, let's chase the ass and kill them fiercely, as long as we kill three or five thousand more of them, it will be enough to teach those beasts a lesson. ”

Huang Han said: "You and I are really heroes, we see the same thing, the population of Jiannu is small, killing one more will make them weaker, let's go out of the customs just to rob and kill."

If Jiannu dares to stay in the pass to rob, we will dare to chase and kill until Liaodong, and then Gong Fang will transfer the people of Jinzhou, and Benjue will transfer the people of Ningyuan to fight again. ”

Fang Zhenghua's eyes lit up, and he agreed: "Rao is so, but our family thinks that as long as Jiannu learns the news of our exit, he will definitely not be able to sit still like a burning butt, and they will inevitably launch a pursuit, and it may not be realistic to fight until Liaodong." ”

Huang Han didn't know that it was impossible for the Nu chief to let more than 10,000 Ming cavalry rampant in the Houjin army's sphere of influence, so he began to refine his plan and continued:

"Father-in-law Fang, you immediately send your henchmen to gallop to Juyongguan to inform Master Li, tell him not to make a noise, and quickly lead the men and horses left in Juyongguan to Gubeikou, and then we will go around Gubeikou and return to Beijing from Gubeikou."

Gubeikou belongs to the jurisdiction of Liu Zhilun, the governor of Shuntian, and has been repaired long ago these years, and the more than 2,000 people stationed in the garrison are part of the Huazi Army that originally belonged to Liu Zhilun's eight battalions, and the general is also an old acquaintance who attacked Zunhua with Huang Han.

Fang Zhenghua admitted: "Wonderful, wonderful, let's get out of the customs, Juyong Pass doesn't need Lord Li to be in charge, it is enough to have a tall adult, Jiannu is definitely not in the mood to attack such a Xiongguan at this time." Our family immediately sent someone to contact, and there are brocade guards to guard our retreat, which can be guaranteed. ”

Originally, the garrison general was Liu Zhilun's person, and he had a good relationship with the "Red Flag Army", and with Li Ruolian leading a general brocade guard to assist in the defense, the retreat was already worry-free.

After the red gangster concentrated his troops, the efficiency of the robbery plummeted, and he found an unknown number of "Red Banner Army" in the direction of Zhubokou, and he was a little interested, and he didn't want to continue playing, so he had the idea of retreating.

Not afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves, the taste of insecurity is not comfortable, it is obvious that Huang Han led 10,000 cavalry who dare to fight and dare to fight all the time to keep an eye on the Dajin army, but if there is any omission, the Ming army may pounce and fight.

The men and horses who appeared at Zhubokou could not judge the number of people without accurate information, but Huang Han was good at hiding his troops and was even better at launching surprise attacks.

The Red Gangsters judged that the "Red Banner Army" might be the vanguard of the small number, so they let go of a great opportunity to completely annihilate the Blue Banner and chose to repel and stop.

If it is delayed for a long time, there will definitely be more and more "Red Banner Army" reaching the Inner Three Passes, and when the infantry can rely on the castle to advance by leap, the Dajin Army may not be dragged in the pass to fight a war of attrition.

Mid-Autumn Festival, this is the day of family reunion, Shanxi beacon fire, Jiannu rampant, Tartar murder and arson, Huang Han led more than 11,000 Ming cavalry out of the customs to carry out retaliatory slaughter for two days.

On the afternoon of the day they left the customs, they found hundreds of Jiannu and thousands of bannermen, clothed minions, and hundreds of Tartars carrying 30,000 or 40,000 Han people who were being held in Shanxi to the north.

Tartar and Jiannu couldn't imagine that the Ming army would not defend the territory in the pass and fight with the main force, but they came out of the pass to intercept and kill the convoy.

Ten to one troops, the disparity in strength, Huang Han's tactics were to move together, the Tartars, Jiannu, and traitors were killed, more than 1,000 war horses were captured, and all the Han people were rescued.

Since there was no time to screen the prisoners, in order to prevent the leakage of the news and the Jiannu and Tartars in the front transport team fled when they heard the news, and they could not fire a single cannon, so as long as it was a traitor with a money rat tail, all the traitors were killed without leaving a living mouth.

The Ming army seized the time to collect gold and silver treasures, and ordered all the Han people to take cloth, silk, grain, and lead the ploughing cattle to leave the road and flee south to the depths of the mountains.

Originally, many Ming troops thought that the main general was crazy, and it was simply whimsical to give up the convenience of using the city to be stationed to pursue the pass.

After this battle, seeing the captured yellow gold, white silver and silk and other good things, the Ming army immediately smiled, and the morale suddenly returned to the time when the Houjin army had just defeated the city of Baoanzhou.

That night, the Ming army camped in canvas tents carried on horseback, and there were so many donkeys, mules and ploughing cattle that were wounded and killed in the melee that more than 10,000 people could not eat at all.

The next day, the confident Ming army spread a big net to encircle a transport team, because the "Red Banner Army" deliberately tightly sealed the battlefield to attack and kill the Tartars and Jiannu who might escape out of the encirclement, and really managed to kill less than 200 real slaves and 300 Tartars.

The 11,000 regular cavalry defeated the transport team of 500 cavalry in one fell swoop, and the more than 20,000 Han people who were rescued again did their best to carry food and lead large animals up the mountain to the south.
