Chapter 812: The Ambush of Ten Sides of Slave Blood Stained Flags (10)

In the mountains of Arieskousou in the northwest of the capital, the spring breeze is not warm, and the dead trees in the forest are still there. Occasionally, you can see the pine forest mixed with gray and black dead branches, and the stars are covered with dust. Aries is an important border area of ​​the Great Wall in the capital that covers more than one mile. The three-meter-high earth walls are extremely strong. This Neiguan Sect, built during the Zhengde period, curbs the official road leading to Changping Prefecture. This solid border town in the deep mountains, the rolling smoke and blood rising in the daytime, indicates that this city has fallen into the hands of foreign enemies. The Ming Dynasty court repeatedly issued official documents to the border towns under Changping Prefecture, and immediately strengthened its defenses to prevent Jiannu from breaking the pass.

The garrison of Aries, Wang Tieyi, brought the equipment to the city wall. He didn't expect that Zhengbaiqi would attack his strong fortress. Aries had 800 soldiers and 2600 auxiliary soldiers, plus 5,000 young and strong men in the city to guard the city. Wang Tieyi believed that the city of Aries was safe to defend. The garrison of the garrison came from the fact that the scouts of the Posses appeared outside the city a few days ago. Although the scouts of the Possesses did not enter the city, they gave the soldiers and civilians in the city great confidence. What no one expected was that there was a Qing Dynasty Luanyi Guard hidden in the city, which was a secret chess that Yan Zhuochen had buried more than a year ago. The Luanyi Guards and Zhengbaiqi colluded with the inside and outside of the Zhengbaiqi last night and defeated the west gate of the Aries.

The cavalry of Zhengbai Banner took advantage of the night to pour into the fortress of the Aries Institute and massacred all living creatures in the city except the Luanyiwei. He led the troops to avoid leaking news and attracting the Pou Nu Army. Zhengbai Banner ran around the wild for several months and had never experienced such a long sleep in the open. In addition, the morale of the entire Zhengbai Banner army was depressed. Dorgon captured the Aries Institute and the more than 20,000 Zhengbai Banner army was able to recover some morale. However, Zhengbai Banner killed people at the Aries Institute and set fire to ignite dozens of houses in the city. The rolling smoke could be seen clearly by anyone dozens of people. Dorgon did not know whether the Pou Nu Army had discovered the whereabouts of the main force of the Zhengbai Banner. For this reason, Dorgon ordered the release of more than ten scouts and 100 teams to explore the twenty-mile forests near the Aries Institute.

Since Ullden and Sorentu died in the battlefield, only Dorgon could discuss military information were Meleezhenmu Keden and Yan Zhuochen. Earlier, Yan Zhuochen had proposed to break through the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty, and then break through the Great Wall in the Outer Wall from Yanqing Prefecture and exit from the Sihai Governor. Dorgon politely refused to follow Yan Zhuochen's suggestion on the spot. Yan Zhuochen did not understand military operations and did not know the key to the war. It is true that the Ming army was weak in combat, which does not mean that the Ming army would only wait for the Qing Dynasty to slaughter, especially the terrain near the Sihai Governor, and the Zhengbai Banner cavalry, who were trapped and short of horses, took people to pile up without siege equipment. Dorgon was not sure.

More importantly, Yanqing Prefecture is not far from the area controlled by the Ponu Army. If the Ponu Army gets news and comes from the north, the Ponu Army in the Pass can form a clamping attack on the Zhengbai Banner. Fighting in the mountainous areas with rugged roads is not the strong point of the Zhengbai Banner, so breaking through from Yanqing Prefecture is a search for death. The Zhengbai Banner in the south is even more afraid to go. Not to mention that the main force of the Ponu Army is waiting for the Zhengbai Banner to fall into the trap. Fighting in the plains in the plains is really not the opponent of the Ponu Army. Even if the Red Flag has fully helped the battle, the Zhengbai Banner will not break through the defense line formed by the Ponu Army.

The scout Niu Luezhen Zhuergan (Juchen language: Yili, Truth) of Zhengbai Banner was patrolling the southeast with more than 330 cavalrymen. The path they patrolled was rarely visited by people. The withered yellow weeds flooded the vast mountain road. From a distance, there was a road between the yellow grass, which was lower than the side. There were high mountains and ridges in front, back and left and right. Many peaks seemed flat but bushes were growing. It seemed peaceful. It was difficult for people to climb to the top of the mountain. Zhuergan knew that he was responsible for breaking through the Zhengbai Banner and sending letters and exploring the way. He would carefully examine the surrounding road terrain every place.

Niu Luezhen Zhuergan, who is nearly fifty years old, has a face full of sorrow and is full of sorrow. He keeps looking at the enemy Ponu Army on the mountains around him. He has been working as a scout for more than 20 years, and based on his experience, he always feels that countless eyes are staring at his cavalry team along the mountain. During the war, Zhuergan has escaped the pursuit of the Ponu Army's war barracks many times, and in his heart he is most afraid of encountering the Ponu Army's forest troops. In Zhuergan's view, this Ponu Army's forest troops are equipped with a bit too luxurious. Even if the long-haired cloth-strap disguised war robe is the best scout in the Qing Dynasty, as long as the Ponu Army cannot hide, you will almost never see his whereabouts until you are three feet away from them.

He traveled through the mountains and forests for two consecutive days without getting lost. Thanks to the Han people in the Aries, Li Ke, who used the identity given by Yan Zhuochen to investigate the surrounding terrain at the Aries. Especially when they walked to the north of the imperial tomb, they traveled through difficult paths to avoid the enemy's sight. Zhuergan also sent people back to report military information to Belled Dorgon every day. After several days of arduous journeys, Zhuergan and his team of scouts came to Miyun and met the cavalry of the Yellow Flag, their war horses were all invisible. They were all wearing rags with weapons. If they hadn't called the scouts of the Yellow Flag patrolling in Jurchen, even the cavalry of the Yellow Flag would not recognize their true nature.

After asking about Zhuergan's march personally, they immediately felt something was wrong. It was not because Zhuergan and his luck were good, it was clearly because the Possess Army deliberately let him go. Beier Fei Yangguo had a new understanding of Chen Por, the deputy commander of the Possess Army, who presided over the battle of the Possess Army. The intention of the Possess Army was too obvious. If you let the 300 Zhuergan break through so smoothly, isn't this the generals of the Qing Dynasty be fooled? Fei Yangguo fooled the Mongolian Yellow Banner Beile Ming'an a few days ago, and excitedly asked Haoge to go to Sanhe to rob the city-building silver. In particular, Haoge promised Ming'an that the use of the Yellow Banner's battle flag and armor of the Inlaid Yellow Banner's battle power was particularly effective.

The attack route planned by Fei Yangguo for Ming'an made Ming'an excited after listening to the arrangement. Fei Yangguo explained that the main forces of the Pou Nu Army were on the front line of Changping and Fangshan, and the Mongolian Yellow Banner did not have to fight with the Pou Nu Army. After plundering wealth in Sanhe, they immediately transferred to Zunhua. Fei Yangguo also took out another forged Luan Yi Guard intelligence and a real Luan Yi Guard intelligence to investigate the distribution of Ming'an'an'an's army, so that Ming'an Beile thought that he knew the entire military situation. Then, Beilehaoge, the Beile of the Inlaid Yellow Banner, agreed with Beile of the Mongolian Yellow Banner, that five days later, Haoge personally brought 10,000 main cavalry of the Inlaid Yellow Banner to Shunyi. When the Pou Nu Army attacked and besieged the Qing Dynasty, Beile of the Ming'an led the main force of the Mongolian Yellow Banner, disguised as the Jurchen Yellow Banner and entered the Sanhe River.

Then, Belehaoge and Beizi Fei Yangguo summoned the Zhengbai Banner Niuluezhen Zhuergan and explained to him the matter of breaking through with Bele Dorgon of Zhengbai Banner. Fei Yangguo clearly stated that the main force of the Inlaid Red Banner could no longer escape the siege of the Possess Army. If Zhengbai Banner abandoned the war horses and only brought dry food in the mountains, it might be able to break through the numerous encirclements set up by the Possess Army. Haoge promised that the Inlaid Yellow Banner would prepare more war horses here and would take the main force of the Zhengbai Banner out of danger at all costs. The next morning, Niuluezhen Zhuergan set out on his way back again and galloped towards the Aries.

As Fei Yangguo expected, when the Zhengbai Banner Niuluezhen Zhuergan appeared on Xiangdongshan Road, he was clearly seen by the scouts of the Lightning Camp of the Ponu Army. Li Chen, the head general of the Lightning Camp, asked him to leave safely according to the instructions of the Deputy Commander Chen Pear. Chen Pear was to attract more main forces of the Qing Dynasty to come and fight the Ponu Army. Then the scouts of the Fengliu Camp of Xu Zhen, who were stationed in Huairou, monitored their whereabouts until dawn entered the area controlled by the Miyun Yinghuang Banner. Just three days after the Zhengbai Banner Niuluezhen Zhuergan left the Yinghuang Banner Camp, Beilehaoge and Meilezhen Hutulifengsheng Zalaffen (Juzhen means: Fu Lushou), led 13,000 cavalry one horse and two horses, and broke into the northwest of Huairou in two directions.

Xu Liang, the leader of the Water Dragon Camp of the Pou Slave Army in Huairou, and Xu Zhen, the leader of the Mengshi Camp, were overjoyed after learning the news. They confronted the main force of the Qing Dynasty's Red Flag for several months, and had not closed the Gubeikou of the border controlled by the Yellow Flag, just because they were afraid of turning the battle into a defeat. The deputy commander of the Pou Slave Army gave their brothers the order to leave a gap. The Zhengbai Banner and the Red Flag in the Pass had hope of breaking the siege. In this way, they could both annihilate the main forces of the Qing Dynasty and annihilate the Yellow Flags that the Qing Dynasty responded to. Just in Xu Liang, Xu Zhen brought nearly 30,000 main cavalry out of the camp and planned to annihilate the Yellow Flags cavalry, and the battlefield changed suddenly again. The scouts reported that a group of more than 20,000 cavalrymen of the Yellow Flags were one man and three horses to the east side of Huairou, and rushed towards Sanhe and Pinggu.

At this time, Xu Liang, who led the main cavalry out for more than 40 miles, was very surprised when Xu Zhen's brothers were surprised to get the news. They didn't understand what was wrong with the Yellow Flag Flag, and they rushed into the big pit dug by the Ponu Army. However, this was a good thing for Xu Liang and Xu Zhen. As soon as they discussed, Xu Zhen led the headquarters to immediately cut off the rear route of the Yellow Flag Flag cavalry, and Xu Liang continued to pursue the Yellow Flag cavalry entering Huairou. At the same time, they urgently reported the enemy situation to Chen Poru Deputy Commander of the Ponu Army. In just over a day, the Deputy Commander of the Ponu Army, Chen Poru, who received the urgent report, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This latest report on the enemy situation was too timely. He finally had reason to reject the reason for Du Xiaoshan to siege Shizhu Xuanwei's army.
