Chapter 305 Baodi

When Lin Jiangsheng learned of the enemy of the Tartars, he did not dare to neglect him at the moment. He quickly summoned a captain under his command and the generals of the various departments discussed tactics.

Lin Jiangsheng actually led an army organized by a lieutenant, but his military position was a general. Many people know that after the Shanhaiguan War, once the King of Xia was established, Lin Jiangsheng would most likely become a general, and might even become the governor of a certain war zone.

It is a sign that a new recruit is given to him by a captain.

"The decisive battle between Shanhaiguan is imminent, and the emperor personally takes charge. With our troops, the Tartars will definitely be defeated. However, the Tartars cannot be said to have struggled. The Tatars in the north and the waterway that they have just discovered are all their means."

In front of Lin Jiangsheng is a huge map that contains the entire Gyeonggi area.

"Jiannu chose to land from Chaohekou. He thought he knew that our troops were guarding the three guards in Tianjin and did not dare to take advantage of the troops. It was also the general's omission that he ignored Chaohekou. If the local people had not discovered it by chance, it would have caused serious consequences. Now it must be remedied as soon as possible!"

As he said that, he pressed his fingers hard on one place: "Here."

Xianghe!

Yingzhou Qiantun Weiting Office, Xianghe County. It is not far from Tongzhou.

He said: "The attack of the Tartars will definitely not be slow, and there is no possibility of delay. Our troops must consider it based on the fastest speed of the Tartars. If I send troops at this time and intercept the Tartars, most of them will be in the Xianghe area. Even if Jin Sheng's troops delay, in my opinion, the Tartars will usually leave some soldiers and horses to break their tails and stalemate with Jin Sheng's troops, and the main force will continue to move forward."

"Now listen to my order!"

"The new recruits and lieutenants left one to guard Zhigu, and the rest rose up and rushed to Qiantunwei of Yingzhou. I led one of them to take a boat to go first. At noon, the troops gathered in Xianghe, and those who were out of date were judged by military rules!"

"Here!"

...

Jin Sheng and Jin generals raised 3,000 troops from their troops overnight and walked straight north. Li Jiucai also followed the army.

"After discovering the enemy, I called the Ergou brothers in the village to go up the river and inform the village chiefs of other villages. It has been more than two hours since the Tartars landed. According to the rapid march of fifty miles per hour, as long as they are not delayed, they may have arrived in Liangcheng. The Ergou brothers in the village may not be able to catch up with their speed."

Jin Sheng suddenly made a decision: "Since the enemy has arrived at Liangcheng, I will not eat his ashes. Let's take a shortcut to Baodi! Before dawn, you must intercept the Tartars in Baodi!"

Three thousand people were light chariots, and they didn't even bring cannons. They only brought dry food for one day, so they rushed straight to Baodi.

Wherever the army passes, it will definitely disturb the people. Fortunately, it was at night, and there was no big noise.

In the hour of Mao, Baodi is in sight.

That night, Jin Sheng's troops ran nearly two hundred miles away! Fortunately, most of his subordinates were veterans, all of whom were strong and had a long strength. Otherwise, they would have to be exhausted to vomit blood when they came here.

Seeing that Baodi was only a few miles away, Jin Sheng set up a camp and ordered the army to rest. While sending a scout to search for the traces of the Tartars.

While gnawing on dry food, Jin Sheng said to several battalions under his command: "The old capital is already fast enough. I hope the Tartars are not as fast as the old capital. Otherwise, if they miss it, things will be big."

A battalion general said: "Our army soldiers are strong and have a long strength, and their footprints are not much worse than those of cavalry. Even if the Tartars come by water, they are only a few. What's more, transporting war horses by water will take some time to adjust, otherwise they will not be able to run. They will definitely be able to intercept the Tartars here."

“Hope so…”

The sound of horse hooves came, and the scout came back.

"Mr. General! The traces of the Tartars have been found!"

When Jin Sheng heard this, he ate all the dry food in a few bites, clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay! I finally didn't miss it. The old man is relieved now!"

Then ask: "Where is the Tartars?!"

The detective said, "If you want to go back to your parents, you are resting in the woods seven miles away from Baodi West."

"Stay?!" Jin Sheng laughed: "Okay, have a good rest."

Then, "Take it again."

Then he said to the left and right camp generals: "Let the soldiers eat and drink quickly, let's go and fight against the Tartars."

"Here!"

Seven miles west of Baodi, in the dense forest, Kong Tingxun bowed to Shaerhuda and said, "Master, there is Baodi ahead. After passing Baodi, the Xianghe is a hundred miles east. The sun has arrived, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hide the whereabouts."

Shaer Huda, a man of the Eight Banners of Manchu, was a brave man and had entered the pass many times to rob.

Kong Tingxun, the son of Kong Youde, was a traitor.

Shaerhuda did not say anything, and E Shuo next to him said, "If you can't cover it, don't cover it. The boys will rest for two hours, and we will go directly to the capital of the Southern Dynasty. What are the treasure di and the Xianghe, don't worry about him."

Eshuo, a native of the Zhengbai Banner of the Qing Dynasty, was also extremely brave and had many military achievements.

Shaerhuda was the leader of this surprise attack, with E Shuo as deputy, and Kong Tingxun probably was the Han people who praised the paintings.

At this moment, a vest came to report: "I found that there were armored soldiers watching!"

Shaerhuda and E Shuo looked at each other and stood up together: "Armed soldiers?!"

He said: "Try again!"

Shaerhuda said to E Shuo: "Xia thieves reacted so quickly! We landed overnight and marched overnight, but they were even noticed."

E Shuo said: "What should I do now?"

Shaerhuda said: "The surprise attack on the Southern Dynasties is the most important thing. I want to leave a soldier to cut off the rear and restrain the enemy."

E Shuo nodded immediately: "That's it."

He said, "I'll do it."

Shaerhuda shook his head: "The Southern Dynasties' defense is very strict, and you can't do it without you." Then he turned his eyes to Kong Tingxun: "Come on."

Kong Tingxun suddenly felt panicked, but facing Shaer Huda's fierce eyes, he had to grit his teeth and nod: "Zhe!"

Although Kong Tingxun was similar to the counselor's painting, he also brought soldiers. His old master Kong Youde was the head of the Zhenghong Banner of the Han Eight Banners, and he was under his command of tens of thousands of Han soldiers. Kong Youde was once a subordinate of Mao Wenlong and also fought naval battles. This time, the navy soldiers sent the Tatars from the water were all from the Zhenghong Banners of the Han Eight Banners, with 1,500 people.

The meaning of Shaerhuda was to let Kong Tingxun lead these 1,500 men to cut off the rear, block the Xia army, and buy time for them.

Shaerhuda said again: "It was originally planned to take two hours to rest, but now it seems that it is impossible. I ask the guys to eat quickly and leave in half an hour."

But before half an hour, Jin Sheng's troops had arrived.

Shaerhuda hurriedly dispatched troops and arranged a formation outside the woods to observe the military appearance of Jin Sheng's troops. After seeing this, his heart sank.

Three thousand are armoured soldiers, armed to the teeth. Except for the heavy firepower such as artillery, there are all other things.

What made Sharhuda grit his teeth the most was that they themselves did not bring artillery. How could they bring heavy artillery with them when they attacked the light chariot?

"Do you want to settle for the next best?"

Sharhuda thought so.

The so-called "retreat" and "seeking the second best. Before sending troops to the waters, Dorgon personally gave advice - if the attack on the capital is unfavorable, he would kill the Han people.

Shaerhuda knew that this was also to shake the morale of the Xia army.

Once a city massacre occurs behind Shanhaiguan, the Shanhaiguan defenders will definitely not be able to stabilize, thus creating opportunities for Dorgon.

But this is just a way to settle for the second best.
