Chapter 134: Counterattack on Luo Wenyu
Qin Shuhuai said, "On the orders of the emperor, I went to Jizhen with Deputy Li Qianhu and the Meng brothers to investigate the battle situation. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info We first found Huang Taiji's tens of thousands of troops five miles away from Zunhua City. Then in Chenjiagou, I found the Azig army rushing to Zunhua. He thought that Azig deliberately bypassed the Santun camp, and was bound to join forces with Huang Taiji to besiege Zunhua, so he wanted to quietly follow to see if it was true. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Sheung Shui River, they suddenly entered the forests on both sides and hid themselves! These two Tartars were caught in the west of the river. ”
Zhao Shujiao looked at the Jurchen Tartar, and then at Qin Shuhuai, his brows became tighter and tighter.
He began to be inclined to believe that what Qin Shuhuai said was true. He believed that even if this Qin Qianhu had some unknown origins, it would be impossible for the three Han generals in the palace to surrender to the enemy at the same time and lie about the military situation.
Now a very contradictory question was before him.
If the army of Huang Taiji and Azig arrived in Zunhua before him, then this Zunhua City would definitely not be able to enter by itself. If you can't enter Zunhua City, you can only fight with the Tartars, which is tantamount to death. On the one hand, the field combat ability of the Tartar army was already above the Guanning army, and on the other hand, in order to march quickly, all of his 4,000 elites were lightly armed, not to mention heavy cavalry, even the heavily armored infantry did not have it, so it was impossible to fight.
What's more, this Qin Qianhu had already said that Azig's army was ambushing himself on the way to Zunhua City. If you go according to the original plan, won't you fall into the net?
The facts are in front of us, and it is difficult to save Zunhua to the sky.
But the problem is that the military order cannot be violated, Inspector Yuan wants to save Zunhua by himself, if he changes his route without authorization, if he turns back to Zunhua City, the court will blame it, and he will be beheaded according to the law.
The soldiers and those fools in the court don't care if they have a valid reason, as long as they don't arrive on time, they will definitely not let themselves go!
There is an ambush? Field warfare is not an opponent of Jiannu? These reasons will become an excuse for their cowardice and escape, and it is no wonder that they do not dismantle themselves!
Qin Shuhuai saw that Zhao Shujiao's face was uncertain, and he had expected it, so he said, "General Zhao, Zunhua City is absolutely impossible to go. However, Zunhua City still has to be saved. ”
His words were in the heart of Zhao Shujiao, Zhao Shujiao groaned, and asked, "According to the opinion of thousands of households, how to save Zunhua?"
Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly and said, "General Zhao has heard of Wei Wei saving Zhao?"
Zhao Shujiao's eyes opened slightly, and he said, "What is Qin Qianhu's strategy?"
Qin Shuhuai said without thinking, "When Jiannu first entered the Central Plains, although he was like a bamboo, he did not think that he was invincible in the world. The thief leader Huang Taiji has always been cunning and cunning, and he must have left a way to retreat to ensure that once the war is unfavorable after entering the fortress, the army will have a chance to withdraw from the fortress. And judging from the current location of the Jiannu army, where does General Zhao think their retreat will be?"
Zhao Shujiao pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light shot out.
suddenly realized, he said, "Since Jiannu is moving closer to Zunhua, then their back road will inevitably be chosen in Daankou and Luowenyu." These two places are the closest passes to the Great Wall from Zunhua, if they are unfavorable in the war and want to retreat from the fortress, they will definitely choose these two places. ”
Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "General Zhao Mingjian." The Jiannu thieves did not have many troops, they would not divide their troops along the way, and would only choose important passes to garrison, and Da'ankou and Luo Wenyu were the only places they had to pass through to withdraw from the pass, and they must be guarded by soldiers. However, from the current point of view, Huang Taiji's Chinese army and Azig's left wing army are near Zunhua, and the main force of Yue Tuo's right wing army has arrived at Shimenzhai on the 28th, indicating that there are not many Tartar soldiers in Da'ankou and Luo Wenyu, and the main force should be the surrendered Han army. The combat strength of this part of the Han army is not high, and it is believed that most of the low-level sergeants are forced to surrender, and the resistance should not be too fierce. Among them, Luo Wenyu is only seventy or eighty miles away from this place, and it can be reached tomorrow morning, and when our army besieges it with 4,000 men, it can be broken!"
What Qin Shuhuai said is a historical fact. Garrisoning troops in Luo Wenyu and leaving a way back to retreat outside the pass is not only in line with the common sense of using troops, but also in line with Huang Taiji's character, so he believes that this point of history should not change much.
Zhao Shujiao still frowned, and it could be seen that he still had no bottom on this plan.
Qin Shuhuai continued, "If Luo Wenyu is captured, then we only need to let go of a small group of Jiannu to ventilate the news, and then pretend to make a posture of continuing to attack Daankou, Huang Taiji is likely to think that our army has the intention of cutting off its rear road and encircling and annihilating its main force." Huang Taiji is an extremely cautious person, and without understanding the specific arrangements of our army, it is very likely that he will be bluffed by us, so as to send troops back to Da'ankou and Luo Wenyu to keep the retreat to Saiwai. In this way, the siege of Zunhua can naturally be solved!"
Zhao Shujiao was silent for a long time, and then said, "What Qin Qianhu said is just a medium possibility. What if Jiannu doesn't come back to help, but chooses to capture Zunhua and continue westward?"
In fact, Qin Shuhuai had great confidence in Huang Taiji's return to Daankou and Luo Wenyu. Because Houjin was indeed more cautious in the early days of entering the customs, he did not despise the Ming army too much, after all, the defeat of Ning Jin was still in sight. This can be reflected in many historical sources. For example, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were worried that the enemy would be outnumbered after entering the fortress, and they would be surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army, so they persuaded Huang Taiji to withdraw several times, and for example, Huang Taiji led 20,000 troops plus 20,000 soldiers and still did not dare to attack Zunhua City, so in this psychology, he suddenly heard that the back road out of the fortress was cut off, and then remembered that he was invincible all the way after entering the fortress, and a normal person would wonder if the Ming army had set a trap.
What's more, even if Huang Taiji is not worried and does not return to help, the two major Baylors of Daishan and Mang Gurtai are bound to persuade him to return to help. These two people have always opposed the entry into the fortress in the early days, but the historical Ming army is too useless, and the two finally gradually dispelled their doubts and no longer mentioned the opposition.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Huang Taiji did not return to help in the end, or only returned some of his men, and some of them still attacked Zunhua City, Qin Shuhuai's goal was achieved.
Saving Zhao Shujiao and these 4,000 elite soldiers was his only purpose. What he has to do now is to do everything possible to fool Zhao Shujiao to Luo Wenyu. As long as he can eat the thousands of Houjin soldiers on Luo Wenyu's side, with this level of military exploits, plus he and Sun Chengzong, who greatly appreciates Zhao Shujiao, help him say good things in front of Chongzhen, Zhao Shujiao will definitely not die.
Zhao Shujiao didn't say a word, and pondered with a solemn expression.
At this time, Meng Wei also said, "General Zhao, what Qin Qianhu said is reasonable. The army of Huang Taiji and the army of Azig are what we have seen with our own eyes, and the general must not fall into the trap of Jiannu again, and cost the lives of 4,000 soldiers in vain!"
Meng Hu and Li Jingting also echoed on the side.
When Zhao Shujiao heard the words "the lives of four thousand soldiers", his eyelids lifted suddenly. Many of these soldiers were gathered by him one by one in the front guard, and none of them were not brothers who had risked their lives with him? Not to mention that these brothers could memorize their names backwards, they could even know a little about how many people and acres of land they had in their families, and they could know a little about the names of their wives and children.
Can he go from a guilty person with only 30 or so family members to the current General Pingliao and Zuo Dudu, aren't these brothers exchange their blood for themselves?
Disobey military orders, change lanes without authorization, and even if you die, you will only die yourself. And if you go to Zunhua, you may kill all the brothers, which is more important?
His eyes grew firmer, his back straightened, and he clearly made up his mind.
However, before speaking, he first glanced at Li Decheng, and then asked, "What does Li Jianjun think?"
His scoundrel sleek side is on display again. Li Decheng is a prisoner of the army, and he changed the military order without authorization, and if he obtained Li Decheng's consent, the crime would be a little lighter.
How could Li Decheng not know his intentions? He was a prisoner of the army, and if he agreed to change the military order, as long as the imperial court blamed him, he would not escape the death penalty.
Qin Shuhuai was a little worried that Li Decheng would not agree.
Li Decheng said coldly, "General Zhao, this is going to use our family as a shield to block arrows." ”
Qin Shuhuai was about to speak, but he heard Li Decheng smile poignantly, there was helplessness in his smile, and he was even more resigned.
"Hehe, our family has served the emperor all his life, and he has already given everything to the emperor. If we can keep these 4,000 elite soldiers for the emperor, why don't we dedicate our heads to the emperor again?"
Qin Shuhuai was stunned.
Zhao Shujiao was also stunned.
"General Zhao, order the army to set off. The military order was changed by our family, and it was our family's ineffective supervision of the army, probably this is the case with Qi, hehe, hahahaha......"
Qin Shuhuai bowed heavily to Li Decheng and said, "Gonggong Li is righteous!"
Zhao Shujiao held his head high and shouted with all his strength, "The whole army obeys the order and attacks Luo Wenyu!"
