Niangzi Pass is a more famous pass on the nine sides, and the standing garrison is 3,000 people.

It's a pity that under the enemy's premeditated heavy attack, especially less than half an hour after the battle started, hundreds of cavalry and horses suddenly came from behind, which caught the Niangzi guard off guard, and the whole checkpoint was broken before the reinforcements arrived.

Overnight, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed directly into the territory of Dachu from this checkpoint......

But the strange thing is that this cavalry that succeeded in the surprise attack did not turn around and sneak attack the Zhenbei army, and even the rout of Niangzi Pass did not chase and kill, but directly galloped eastward with ten thousand horses.

Their purpose seems clear.

The former general army yamen of Xuanfu has now become Qin Guanliang's temporary commander's tent.

When he learned that a cavalry had suddenly appeared behind his buttocks, the first thing he said was: "The prince of this balloon, I'll say he's useless." More than 200,000 elite border troops under his command actually put the Cossack cavalry in. What an incompetent bastard! ”

The generals under him had to kindly remind him: "General, according to the report of the spies, this cavalry has broken through the territory of Datong Mansion......"

Belch......

Qin Guan Liang raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Is that the case?" ”

The forces of Xuanfu and Datong are under his control for the time being......

The messenger beside him held his face and nodded.

"So that's the case, these little rabbit cubs, they can't even see the door, and when they turn around and tell me which useless one lost the pass, Lao Tzu personally skinned him!

Now, Lao Tzu will lead people to exterminate these little mongrels first......"

Qin Guanliang said that he was going to order the general to lead the troops to block and kill this enemy's cavalry.

"The general is slow, our task is to hold the gate of the capital, what if the general goes, pinch Gusi, Kazhen and other troops to attack?"

A general persuaded.

"You know the, these little tribes are like soft eggs. If it weren't for the prince of the balloon who didn't let me send troops, Lao Tzu would have led his troops into the royal court of Gus, where would they be allowed to hang out under my nose?

However, he didn't let me send troops, and Lao Tzu couldn't disobey. But there's an enemy army behind him, there's no way he's going to have a reason to stop me, right? ”

"But ......"

"But what is it, can't you see that they are going to attack our capital? If the capital is lost, how many heads do you have enough to lose?

Okay, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will bring some soldiers less......

I'll take 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of these soldiers and horses are enough to guard Xuanfu and Datong, right? ”

As soon as they heard this, the rest of the generals breathed a sigh of relief. What they are afraid of is that this Qin Da Lao has fallen for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

If he only led 30,000 men to chase that cavalry, it would not have much impact on the overall situation.

"Since you all have no opinions, then it's decided, after I leave, everything in the army will obey the orders of General Xia."

"Yes."

The generals saw that Qin Guan Liang had made up his mind, and he had nothing to say.

Compared with the old Qin who came airborne and was full of swearing, they supported General Xia who had been guarding the border for decades......

They didn't know that Qin Guanliang's little Jiujiu in his heart was also very good:

This prince Teng was afraid that I would rob him of credit, so he deliberately threw Lao Tzu here, and he didn't even see a ghost of the enemy for more than half a year, isn't this deliberately teasing people?

Now that the enemy's cavalry has finally passed under Lao Tzu's nose, how can Lao Tzu let go of this opportunity?

Well, although 30,000 soldiers and horses may be a little less, but when the time comes, when the time comes, some local garrisons will be transferred to Taiyuan and Chang'an City, and the strength will not be enough.

As long as these little mongrels are exterminated, what else can Wang Ziteng, who looks at his balloon, have to say......

......

Not only did Qin Guanliang aim at this cavalry.

Wang Ziteng didn't completely obey Jia Qing's wishes, he sent 20,000 of the few cavalry under his command, followed the place where the cavalry had passed, and followed.

His purpose is very simple, even if he can't completely destroy this group of cavalry, he will definitely make it difficult for them to sleep and eat, and there is no way to fight the autumn wind everywhere at will.

These cavalry who entered Dachu have been going on for a long time, and all their supplies rely on "fighting the autumn wind" and plundering the common people......

This is something that Wang Ziteng does not allow.

But for the sake of the big picture, he can only do this.

Jia Qing is right, Yulin must not afford to lose. Otherwise, if the main cavalry of the Cossacks was put in, then his prince would have become a sinner for the ages, and there would be no chance to turn over.

Even Da Chu is about to fall for the most part......

Therefore, he sent an order to Qin Guan Liang, ordering him to send a large army to sweep the formation and exterminate this gang of thieves.

If he knew that Qin Guanliang had already led 30,000 elite divisions to set off before he received his order, or the soldiers he personally led, he might have been relieved, this old horseman finally thought of going with the old man......

......

At the time of the Great War, private caravans were not allowed to pass on the main official roads of Great Chu, and violators would be arrested and punished.

At this time, the official road can only be used for transporting military supplies, grain and grass and communications.

The distance between the border pass and the capital is very long, and ordinary caravans often have to travel for ten days and a half or even a month. Under the 800-mile expedited fast horse, the news from the border gate can be delivered to the capital in just two or three days.

Another urgent express message was sent to Daming Palace.

In the south study, Emperor Zhengqing sleeps with pointed ears these days. The heads of the two cabinets and the six departments of several yamen were also on standby all day, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

What are you kidding, these days, there have been several ministers who have been put on death row for the crime of misconduct......

Although many people privately discussed that Emperor Zhengqing was taking the opportunity to eradicate He Shanbao's henchmen, no one dared to say anything.

The Emperor Taishang has not shown up so far, and He Shanbao's party, which was originally unusually united, has long been ownerless. Even He Shanbao himself has been silent in the past few days.

The people of the He Party knew that they were "about to collapse."

It's not that no one wants to resist and tell the world about the "crime" of Emperor Zhengqing. But even the Queen Mother said that the Emperor Taishang was only frightened in the enclosure on the outskirts of Beijing, and the dragon's body was not safe, and she was personally taken care of these days......

In addition, the Russians suddenly changed their faces and invaded Da Chu, and all the people who came out to stir up trouble at this time were arrested by Emperor Zhengqing without hesitation on charges of ill intentions.

In this way, where do others dare to act rashly?

According to Li Xianlai, the guard of Longcheng Pass, tens of thousands of cavalry from the enemy's surprise attack, including 10,000 vanguard troops, have arrived at Longcheng Pass and launched a fierce attack on Longcheng Pass......

What do you Aiqing think of this matter, do you need to increase the troops in Longcheng Pass again? ”

Emperor Zhengqing sat behind the imperial case and said with a calm face.

No one came forward to impeach Wang Ziteng. Because Wang Ziteng had already given Emperor Zhengqing a presentation before, explained the facts to Emperor Zhengqing and explained the relationship.

In the south study room that night, Wang Ziteng's political opponent advised him to escort the "dereliction of duty" Wang Ziteng into Beijing for questioning, and was put on death row by Emperor Zhengqing in anger......

From then on, everyone could see Emperor Zhengqing's trust in Wang Ziteng, and also saw his determination to fight in this battle.

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War said: "Your Majesty, you can't increase your troops anymore." The north and south battalions of the Beijing Division originally had a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, but they have been transferred to only 30,000, and even if the Beijing camp and the forbidden army are added, the total number of soldiers and horses in the Beijing Division is less than 100,000......

The soldiers and horses in the capital really can't move.

Speaking of Longcheng Pass, there were originally more than 7,000 defenders. Previously, His Majesty sent General Mo Lao to lead 10,000 elite divisions of the Northern Battalion to support, and now it is time to arrive.

In this way, one pass of Longcheng Pass, the number of troops has reached more than 17,000 people, and it is enough to guard the pass! ”

In Liu Shangshu's eyes, the Jinyi Army was a group of "bandits" and "gangsters", so he didn't count the Jinyi Army's men and horses at all.

Some people also objected: "But no one knows how many soldiers and horses the enemy still has waiting behind, in case Longcheng Pass is lost, the capital will be exposed to the enemy."

Besides, if we can't send troops to wipe out this cavalry, not only the people of Guanzhong, but even the grain route we transport will be cut off by the other side. If this goes on for a long time, the border army will run out of food, won't it be a complete defeat? ”

Yu Shuyang, the head of the household department, also came out and said: "Senator Zhao is right, our army's grain road cannot be broken. Originally, the household department planned to send a batch of 30,000 stone of military rations to Datong to set off on the fifth day of the first month of next month, but now that the official road is not safe, this batch of military rations will not dare to be allocated by the household department, otherwise it will easily become the enemy's military rations. ”

Speaking of military rations, Emperor Zhengqing said to Shuyang: "How much grain is there in the treasury now?" ”

"There are more than 400,000 stones left."

Emperor Zhengqing calculated in his heart, although there are a lot, but I don't know how long this battle will last, so I can't sit and eat empty.

It's time to raise military rations from the civilian population.

didn't delay much on the matter of food, and the topic returned to Longcheng Pass.

"Since the soldiers in the capital can't be transferred anymore, let's transfer them from other places. Since the Tatar tribe was defeated a few years ago, the turtle retreated back between the white mountains and black waters, and now it has long dared not show its head.

However, Liaodong still has tens of thousands of troops all year round, so it is better to transfer them all back to listen. ”

"What are you kidding, all transferred back, what if the Tatars take the opportunity to sneak attack?"

"Then turn it half."

"Half is also dangerous, up to a third."

“......”

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Zhao Senator of the Military Aircraft Pavilion quarreled with each other, and finally Emperor Zhengqing made a decision and transferred 20,000 cavalry from Liaodong to support the capital. He also transferred 30,000 troops from Liangzhejiang and Liangjiang to the north in case of accidents.

The Little Council then stopped.

Because Emperor Zhengqing temporarily subdued the Manchu civil and military forces by forceful means, in the face of the Cossacks, a ferocious enemy, the entire state apparatus began to kick in, and the strength formed was really amazing.

If there is no accident, the Cossack cavalry that came in this raid is destined to be stained with blood.
