The battle of Jizhou was the strongest confrontation between Daming and Jianlu!
Jiankui dispatched more than 100,000 troops, almost all of Jiankui's army, and Huang Taiji personally led the army.
And Daming has mobilized more than 200,000 troops, bringing together all the generals who are now able to conquer the war, and behind him is the heart of Daming, the capital.
This duel is the biggest and most dangerous battle since the founding of Ming Dynasty, second only to the transformation of the Tumu Fort!
The two sides fought fiercely from early November to mid-December.
You vie for the pass near Jizhou, and the dead bodies inside and outside Jizhou are like mountains.
Jizhou City, fifteen miles away, built a large camp.
After many days of conquering, some voices of withdrawal of troops appeared inside Jianluo.
Mang Gurtai was the most impatient. He looked at Huang Taiji and said, "It has been more than a month. Except for some small towns, we have not even supplemented a single grain. If this continues, we will starve to death even if we take down Jizhou! "
In the north of Jizhou, the Ming Dynasty adopted the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and built more than 100,000 troops. The daily consumption was huge, and there was no supplement at all. They could not hold on for long.
"Then turn, trap Jizhou, we continue to go south, I don't believe that, in other places, Nanbanzi can also stand firm and clear the wild!" Yue Tuo said impatiently.
"No!" Jierhalang suddenly said, "The Ming Dynasty has accumulated more than 200,000 troops in Jizhou. If we divide our troops, we will be eaten by the Ming Dynasty one by one. Don't forget, this is the Ming Dynasty. Master Jing!"
"Then what do you guys say? What can we get if we continue to fight like this, except to increase consumption?" Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge took a sip and said in a deep voice.
A group of people immediately argued, clamoring, and chaos in the big tent.
Daishan has been sitting with the old god, listening to it getting more and more uncomfortable, looking at Huang Taiji who is smiling and listening, and said: "Profuse sweat, if you don't stop it, I am worried that it will affect the military's morale."
Dai Shan spoke, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji looked calm, sitting on the chair, watching everyone smile and said: "We do lose a lot, but the Ming Dynasty is not much better than us. We are coming fast. They will not have time to prepare food and grass for more than 200,000 troops. We will last a long time."
Everyone was startled, they were all people who had been fighting for a long time, and they all nodded thoughtfully one after another.
The food and grass for the 200,000 army, let alone a few months, according to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, may not be all raised in three to five months.
If it is a long-term fierce battle, it is really hard to say who can't hold it first.
However, this is a risky gambling. Those who march and fight will not be exhausted if they are not absolutely necessary. What's more, their Golden State is from the whole country... Can't afford to lose!
They could think that Huang Taiji naturally thought of it, and said: "Amin, Hauge, you each rate 10,000 people, go out at night, bypass Jizhou, and directly attack the Ming Dynasty’s capital. They are hoarding 200,000 troops. Jizhou already has the most troops, the capital will not have much, even if there are people, it is enough to mess up Jizhou's military spirit!"
Armin stood up immediately and said loudly: "It should have been like this a long time ago, it's just you, I'm going now!"
Hauge saluted Huang Taiji and quickly followed.
When Dai Shan saw the killing intent in Huang Taiji's eyes flashed, he shook his head secretly, but didn't say anything.
On the second day, Jianlu continued to attack the city, but his momentum became weaker and less fierce than the previous few days.
In Jizhou City, Yuan Chonghuan was wearing armor, a little nondescript. He was surrounded by governors, governors, and a group of people, seeing that Jianlu's momentum was not as good as before, and their hearts were relaxed.
Geng Ruqi said, "Master Yuan, the prisoners are afraid that they will not have enough food and grass, so they will withdraw their troops."
Wang Yuanya thought the same way, and said, "Jizhou is invaluable. They didn't grab anything, and there is no other way to go except withdrawing troops."
The group of people around them thought the same way, and couldn't help smiling.
If this battle is won, they will have to be promoted.
Yuan Chonghuan didn't speak, his face was expressionless as he watched Jianlu attacking the city.
Jianlu was under a lot of pressure, so he was not, but he always felt that Jianlu would not give up so easily. The whole country, spent more than a month in Jizhen, withdrawing troops in a desperate manner
This is not Jianlu's temperament!
But Yuan Chonghuan didn't say much, waiting for Jianluo's offensive to be suspended, and Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Lijiao and others were invited.
After listening to Yuan Chonghuan’s words, Cao Wenzhao was the first to speak: “In addition to withdrawing troops, the prisoners can only go east if they want to make up for the food. But to the east are Shanhaiguan and Tianjin Wei, and we are behind them. They should not take risks. ."
Zhao Lijiao suddenly said: "My lord, will Jianlu go around us and attack the capital directly like he bypassed Shanhaiguan?"
"No." Hou Shilu said directly: "We have an army of more than 200,000, which is already dominant. If the prisoners divide their forces again, are we afraid that we will counterattack them?"
Zhao Lijiao glanced at him, but did not speak.
Hou Shilu’s words cannot be said to be wrong. The theory is like this; but the Ming Dynasty’s 200,000 troops were really counted as “armies”, and those who could be pulled out to fight, less than 50,000, how to counterattack
Now there are only two groups of people wanting them to go out of the city to counterattack, one is Jianlu, the other is the supervisor of the Ming court.
Without waiting for Yuan Chonghuan to speak, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Report your lord, it's foggy outside."
Yuan Chonghuan looked slightly surprised and ran out quickly.
I don't know when, there was a heavy fog over Jizhou City, and people from a metre away could not see clearly.
Yuan Chonghuan had a bad feeling in his heart, and said: "Teacher Zhao, you rate five thousand people, and rush back to the capital immediately. If there are other circumstances, report it immediately!"
This heavy fog is very beneficial to Jianlu, and Zhao Ledjiao dare not delay, and hastily said: "The last general will lead!"
Yuan Chonghuan was still uneasy, and looked at Cao Wenzhao again, saying: "Using the fog, tentatively counterattack the Jianluo, and contain them!"
Cao Wenzhao said: "Yes!"
Yuan Chonghuan felt that this arrangement was not enough, so he went to the governors and governors, and asked them to do their best to force Jianli to stop making changes.
As for Jianlu Daying, Huang Taiji and others looked at the fog with happy expressions on their faces.
Huang Taiji smiled and said, "It seems that my Daikin is indeed destined."
Mang Guertai said: "Twenty thousand is not enough, I will take another twenty thousand people!"
Huang Taiji didn't like Mang Gurtai. In addition to the previous series of things, Mang Gurtai was alive because Huang Taiji was not ready yet. He had scruples about Daishan and Amin.
"Yue Tuo, go, 20,000 people, broke the capital of Mingren for Ben Khan!" Huang Taiji said solemnly.
"It's sweating!" Yue Tuo walked out, his expression solemn and passionate.
Mang Gurtai suddenly snorted. He knew Huang Taiji was dissatisfied with him, but he didn't care too much, the Big Four Baylor, he was still above Huang Taiji!
Regarding the tentative offensive launched by the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji knew that this was deliberate containment, and became more pleased. After fighting with the Ming army in the thick fog, he withdrew and could not stand.
On the other side, Yue Tuo took advantage of the heavy fog to bypass Jizhou and directly rushed towards the Ming Dynasty capital. (End of this chapter)
