Three days ago, the Qing Dynasty Luanyi Guards hidden in Juyongguan reported emergency intelligence that the main force of the Pou Slave Army gathered outside the pass, which immediately scared the Lanqi Beile Mangurtai, who was in charge of the war in the north of the capital. According to the detailed information, the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Pou Slave Army were all cavalry, and the large army stationed at Pou Slave Army flooded the area ten miles outside Juyongguan. After receiving the news that the main force of the Pou Slave Army arrived at Juyongguan to serve the king, the frightened Mangurtai immediately made the decision to withdraw immediately. The main force of the Pou Slave Army, which was enough to annex all the Qing troops in the pass, appeared, leaving Mangurtai as if he was stung. Although there were two main forces of the Hejian Prefecture and Baoding Prefecture robbing and fighting there, the Inlave Blue Banner Beile Mangurtai first considered the safety of the people and horses of the banner. Mangurtai found Wuzhenchao Ha Camp Beile Babutai to discuss the withdrawal.

The subordinates of the Beile Babutai of Wuzhen Chao, mainly Babutai, of course, the earlier they ran, the further they were from danger. Babutai was not so naive that the Pou Nu cavalry could not catch up with his infantry. The two Beile who had made up their minds to retreat still knew to resist, otherwise they would not send a message to others when they went back. Since they decided to fight a war, this scapegoat would have to find a Mele Ezhen who had no background and could lead troops alone. The Qing Dynasty's blue flag was the main force of the Qing Dynasty, so of course they would not be a scapegoat. Therefore, this person could only be selected from the Babutai's army. In fact, the two Beile who had ulterior motives already had a candidate, that is, the Mele Ezhen king who had recently been transferred to the Wuzhen Chao's camp.

The location where Mangurtai chose to fight with the Po Nu Army was also very exquisite, that is, Sanhe City on the east of Tongzhou. Although the terrain here is not dangerous, it is the convergence point of several official roads. With this battle of important places, Mangurtai and Babutai also had the argument of avoiding war. They speculated that according to the usual tactics of the Po Nu Army, grassland fox wolves generally like to attack the enemy's flanks. How could the more than 30,000 cavalry of the Inlaid Yellow Banner led by Huang Taiji's son Haoge defeat the more than 100,000 main force of the Po Nu Army? If the Inlaid Yellow Banner led by Haoge retreated to Miyun, the entire right wing of the main force entering the pass of the Qing Dynasty would be exposed to the Po Nu Army. They chose to retreat in the face of this crisis, and Huang Taiji would not dare to punish any of them.

As the Khan of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji's son Haoge left a flank space for the Po Slave Army. Of course, Haoge was responsible for the main responsibility for the defeat this time. If Haoge assumed the main responsibility for the defeat in this battle, then before the war, the Khan Huang Taiji appointed his son Haoge as the leader of the Yellow Banner Flag, and would have the guilt of failing to supervise people. Mangurtai and Babutai had a very smart plan. They had reached the state of retreating before they wanted to advance. Khan Huang Taiji could not find a suitable reason even if they wanted to move. Therefore, Mangurtai began to arrange the order of evacuation of various troops. The first ones to evacuate were Wang Yiping's 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 slaves Aha to garrison in Sanhe; Tong Yangxing led the main force of Wuzhen Chaoha to evacuate directly to Zunhua City, and Beile Babutai and Li Yongfang led their troops to control Xiongwotou's border wall; the inlaid blue flags, which were all cavalry, evacuated as the rear of the entire army one day later.

The Inlaid Blue Flag Bele Mangguertai was quite smart in his plan. His seemingly selfless withdrawal strategy hidden knowledge. Anyway, more than 30,000 cavalrymen in the Inlaid Blue Flag were marching fast, so they could evacuate early than the King Ponu Army entering the pass. It was almost impossible for the Ponu Army outside the pass to catch up with the Inlaid Blue Flag cavalry in three days. As for the Inlaid Red Flag Yuetuo Army who robbed Hejian Prefecture, Mangguertai delayed for half a day before sending the messenger cavalry to inform him of the intelligence that the Ponu Army was about to enter the pass. Hejian Prefecture entered the Zhengbai Banner Dorgon's army in the deep hinterland, and sent the messenger soldiers a day and a half later. Mangguertai had always seen that Dorgon's three brothers were uncomfortable, and the big-fighted children dared to give their brothers a penny in front of his father Khan, and divided some of the Niulu under Dorgon's control, and this bad boy remembered it for his whole life.

From the heart of Manguertai, he most hoped that the Pou Nu Army would capture Dorgon. In this way, the backbone among the three Dorgon brothers would die, and the other two fools would not be able to jump around. In fact, according to Manguertai's plan, the Beile Yuetuo army of the Inlaid Red Flag was not far from the Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty. It took one day enough to gather the scattered Inlaid Red Flag army, and then quickly evacuated from the dangerous territory before the Pou Nu Army entered the pass, leaving behind the fat piece of Zhengbai Banner, which was enough for the group of evil wolves of the Pou Nu Army to cheer. Manguertai planned that after Yuetuo received the news, he could just evacuate safely before the Pou Nu Army, while Dorgon of Zhengbai Banner happened to meet the main cavalry of the Pou Nu Army.

The main force of the Pou Nu Army who passed Changping was spread into dozens of miles of torrents on the Zhili Plain. Their goal was to bypass the capital and intercept the main force of the Qing Dynasty who invaded Zhili on the line of Tongzhou. Chen Pi, the deputy commander of the Pou Nu Army, rode a maroon horse, looked grim. He glanced at the Pou Nu Army cavalry from time to time during the march. The other day before yesterday, he received a harsh reprimand from the emergency newspaper of Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army. Zhang Ping'an cursed people in military affairs and never showed any mercy. He predicted in the official documents that Pou Nu Army would not intercept the Qing infantry attacking the capital after entering the pass. The official documents of Zhang Damao, which was somewhat slapped Chen Pi, seemed to be confirmed after Chen Pi led the Pou Nu Army into Juyong Pass.

According to the intelligence sent by Zheng Tai, Chen Pang, deputy commander of the Po Slave Army, learned from it that the Jiannu army entrenched in the north of the capital had all evacuated the capital four days ago. At this point, the strategic plan made by Zhang Han, the Staff of the Thousand General Staff of the Army, had failed before the war. If Chen Pang wanted to make up for the loss, he could only control the important road from Zhili to the outside of the pass, so that he could intercept the Zhengbai Banner and the Enchanted Red Banner Army, which were still in Hejian Prefecture in Zhili. For this reason, Chen Pang ordered the entire army to attack Sanhe. He once sent Li Chen and Xu Zhenmen to attack Miyun. The Enchanted Yellow Banner Army on Huairou's front line has now been changed to Xu Zhenmen attacking Miyun alone. Chen Pang really wanted Xu Zhenmen to be entangled with the Enchanted Yellow Banner, at least in this way, he could annihilate more of the main forces of the Qing Dynasty's front line.

The tactics used by Chen Piao were a common practice of the Po Nu Army to entangle the main force of the enemy, and then the army hidden behind was siege and attacking. Therefore, Li Chen's troops stayed between Shunyi and Huairou, and could not only accept the army of Xuzhen and take care of the retreat of the main army. Zhang Ping'an reminded Chen Piao in his official document to Chen Piao that he must be guarded against the possible sneak attacks of the Ming official army. Although this possibility is not high, he must not be guarded against. Chen Piao was naturally completely obeyed. In his opinion, Zhang Damao Zhang planned the temple and made decisions on killing and decisive decisions, these were the command qualities that Chen Piao did not possess. Therefore, Chen Piao's deputy commander of the Po Nu Army decided that the entire army must take down Sanhe City in a short time.

The Ming Dynasty Wuzhen Chao Ha Camp Meilezhen Wang Yiping, who was stationed in Sanhe, received an urgent report from the scouts. More than 100,000 troops of the main force of the Slave Army were divided into six directions to advance quickly towards Sanhe. After hearing the scouts, Wang Yiping was filled with depression. Sanhe City demolished three walls after the last time it was captured by the Qing Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty court then allocated silver to rebuild the Sanhe City Wall, the Ming officials embezzled the city walls, making the Sanhe City Wall a waste of money. After inspecting the Sanhe City Wall, Wang Yiping cursed the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty. After he cursed, he couldn't help but burst into tears and sighed at the unfairness of fate.

In desperation, Wang Yiping could only organize his subordinates to build Sanhe fortifications in a short time. Wang Yiping divided the Sanhe city defense into two large pieces. The outer city defense was centered on thirty bunkers, with deer antlers and wooden sign barrier belts. Wang Yiping also arranged a trapped horse pit in the obstacle area to defend against the slave cavalry. Wuzhenchao Haying's inner city defense line mainly relies on the Sanhe city wall, but Wang Yiping had no idea about the city wall that was rebuilt by Ming officials. Only the west side of the Sanhe city wall can be used, and there are quite a few cracks on the other three sides. For these cracks that were four or five inches wide and straight to the base of the wall, Wang Yiping could only send people to fill in the earth and compact them. As for the effect, he could only leave it to fate.

It took less than two hours for the Pou Nu Army to surround Sanhe City. Wang Yiping, who was completely cut off from retreat, ran to the east city wall. Wherever he looked, there were black cloud-like flags everywhere. Wang Yiping looked around the battlefield on both sides. He saw three Pou Nu Army soldiers camps preparing for the attack. Wang Yiping looked up again and observed the sun facing west. It was dark for at least two hours, so he was a little unbelievable that the Pou Nu Army could take down Sanhe City in an instant. Wang Yiping saw the Pou Nu Army artillery two miles away from the north city wall. Dozens of moving artillery vehicles were concentrated in an area less than one mile, and more than 200 boxes of trucks were dragged into the plum blossom fireworks formation.

As soon as the box truck was opened, the standard crossbow cannons of the Pou Nu Army were exposed to the guards of Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp in the Qing Dynasty. It seemed that the Pou Nu Army had known for a long time that there were no heavy general cannons in Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp, and they dared to bully the Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp, which lacked counterattack artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery art

However, the Pou Nu Army did not launch an attack immediately, but seemed particularly mysterious after camping that night. The Pou Nu Army artillery formation was dark, and even the bonfires that should have been lit by the enemy were not lit. The other directions were also burying pots and making meals in the camp and eating happily, and did not take the enemy in front of them seriously. Wang Yiping wanted to sneak attack the Pou Nu Army camp, but he was not sure whether the Pou Nu Army deliberately exposed flaws and designed a trap to let him fall into the trap. Since Wang Yiping had the chance, he would still prepare to try it. At the time of the night, Wu Zhenchao camp dispatched more than a thousand war soldiers to touch the Pou Nu Army artillery formation in the north of the city.

Wang Yiping's tentative attack has two purposes. One is to check whether the Pou Nu Army is really arrogant because of its own strength, so he looked down on the opponent who had been defeated repeatedly and relaxed his defense against the camp. Wang Yiping's other idea is to remove the artillery that poses the greatest threat to defending the city. If the sneak attack of Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp can be successful, Wang Yiping plans to take the main force to break through. It is better to have hope of breaking through alive than to be trapped here. Most of the Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp's war soldiers have the same idea as their Meleezhen King Yiping. More than a thousand Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp's war soldiers in gray armor slid quietly from the city wall with ropes. Fan Jinhu, who led the team, carefully touched the Pou Nu Army's artillery formation after gathering his subordinates. (To be continued)
