Chapter 555: Surprise Attack Zunhua

Zunhua, an important town in the north of the Ming Dynasty, was in a daze. Several soldiers defending the city who had changed their defense greeted the brothers who came to change their defense and yawned down the city. Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, but the soldiers guarding the city were not allowed to rest, which made them feel more or less complaining: "After so many years, my Ming Dynasty enemy has been the Jin people from the Liaodong direction. This man has not been invaded for a long time. Recently, I have heard that they have already been willing to surrender. Why should we be so careful?" A soldier complained while walking down the city.

"What do you know? This is what the adults say is about to be prepared for danger in times of peace. If the general listens to this, he will definitely not let you go easily." A strong man, who was obviously the leader of the crowd, glared at him and said, "Okay, today is the New Year's Eve, and you have paid the time, so go back and ask your wife to prepare some food for you and have a good New Year's Eve. In a few days, you will naturally be very intimate with your wife at night." After that, it became a joke. In fact, they all knew that Zunhua had never had any wars over the years, and it was indeed impossible to have any situation.

These people went down the stairs at the top of the city, and suddenly one of them looked stunned and said, "Listen, what's the sound?"

Everyone cheered up and pulled their ears long and listened. Sure enough, they heard a rumbling sound. The leader unconsciously looked up at the gloomy sky above and said, "It's really strange. How can the winter thunder be heard?"

"Not thunder..." As soon as one person finished speaking, the others also noticed the trembling of the ground. Suddenly, the expressions of several people changed a little. A judgment appeared in their minds: "It's an earthquake!" But before they could scream, the person who had just changed their guards on the top of the city exclaimed: "Look, who is coming! Why are they all riding horses?..."

The defenders on the city and those who had already walked down were stunned. Just when they didn't know what happened, the teams running towards Zunhua City from afar had arrived at the city at an extremely fast speed, only less than a hundred feet away from the city. It was not until this time that the soldiers looking up could see the outfits of those people, one by one, one by one, one by one, a cavalry wearing fur clothes and waving long swords in their hands, and behind their heads was a slender braid...

"It's the Jin man!" I don't know who saw the identity of the person first and shouted loudly. The defenders on the city and under the city were stunned. They never dreamed that so many Jin cavalry would appear outside Zunhua City far away from Liaodong. Judging from their momentum, there were more than 50,000, and there was no end to this sight.

The leader here is the clearest mind. While everyone was still stunned, he was already shouting and ordering: "Hurry up, beat the drums and trumpets, wake up the people in the city and let the enemy go!"

"Woo... Dongdong..." An eager voice sounded at the top of the city, awakening all the soldiers who were still hiding in the hot bed in the city. The guardian of Zunhua City, Cheng Wei, hugged his concubine for a long time before he woke up, jumped off the kang, and while pulling his armor and wearing it, he thought to himself: "What happened to this little New Year's Eve? Especially those idiots who drank too much. If this is true, I will definitely kill them with the military law!" Although he thought so in his heart, he actually hoped that it would be true, otherwise if there was a real enemy situation, he would be in trouble.

The officers and soldiers of the whole city rushed out of the barracks with their armor and dragged weapons, and they all cursed. As the defenders on the city wall ahead thought, the officers and soldiers here had long lost the awareness of being on the border because they had not met the enemy for a long time. In the past, at most they had to go out of the city to fight with the Mongols who had stolen the number of people who were robbed by 100 people, or in general practice, they had long since become aware of the enemy's attack at any time.

So when they rushed to the city to see what was going on, and the Jin army, who was constantly rushing down from the city, were completely stunned. Although the Jin army left the war horses that were completely united with them, their fierce nature did not diminish slightly. When they saw the Ming army, they screamed and waved their swords to kill them.

On one side, there were Jin people with high morale and had already broken into the city, and on the other side, there was the Ming army who was stunned and unprepared. Just after a meeting, the Ming army was killed and retreated step by step. At this time, someone from the Jin army that came down from the city had already opened the closed gate of Zunhua. Tens of thousands of Jin soldiers who had already been ready to go rushed in like tigers out of the cage...

Seeing that the Ming army was completely unprepared, they could become ghosts under the sword after just a little resistance, or flee directly. It was said that it was effortless to capture the city. Huang Taiji, who was outside the city and protected by thousands of elite soldiers, couldn't help but smile happily. He knew that this time it was really successful. As long as Zunhua was taken down, he could launch a raid on the Ming Dynasty's capital, which was only more than 200 miles away. Maybe the purpose he had always thought was a fantasy would be achieved in this attack.

Everything was a bureau, a bureau proposed by Li Yan, and a bureau set up by some wise men from the Jin Dynasty and Huang Taiji. They attacked Guangning and Yizhou in Liaodong only to make a difference, which attracted the attention of the Ming army in Liaodong. When Yuan Chonghuan was in a rescue, they had changed their principles and took the *** grassland and rushed to Zunhua City for half a month.

Li Yan said to Huang Taiji that day: "Khan, since the Liaodong defenders are very good, the cities there are also very difficult to attack, why do you have to capture it? The territory of the Ming Dynasty is so vast, and we are mostly cavalry, and we are several times higher than that of the Ming army. Why can't we lead their noses? As far as I know, except for Liaodong, the defenses at other borders of the Ming Dynasty are very loose, and we only need a surprise soldier to take it off calmly! Why do you have to give up the easy and difficult to get it?"

One word woke up the people in the game. The Jin people have always thought about how to open the road in Liaodong, and have not thought about going around to attack the Ming Dynasty. Now after Li Yan mentioned this, they realized that there was a more convenient way. Although this would take them a journey of more than ten days, compared with the gains they have obtained, it is worth it to take such a distance.

Of course, there are targets to be wary of, such as the defenders of Liaodong. Once they know the movements of the Jin army, while sending letters to guard everywhere, while killing in the empty Jin people, they are afraid that the Jin Dynasty will lose a lot of rice. So before that, the Jin army sent troops to siege the two places of Yizhou with great fanfare, and it turned out that they just wanted to lead the opponent's troops there, and then leave some people to deal with them, while most of them took the opportunity to take a detour.

But the result was better than what they thought. The Guangning two cities were destroyed by them because they were completely unprepared, which gave the Jin army a lot of food and could be supplemented when detours. At the same time, this made the Ming army even more inaccurate in their purpose, making them afraid to act rashly, and gave the Jin army more time.

The previous order from the Ming court to ask the Mongolians to draw troops to the border of the Jin Kingdom also helped the Jin people in disguise. It turned out that it was difficult to get around the *** grassland from the *** grassland to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty because of the evil spirits of the Jin people and the *** people. However, because the *** people were transferred to the east, their hinterland was empty, and the Jin people had the opportunity to pass by smoothly.

Under all the favorable conditions, the Jin army was able to kill silently and beyond everyone's expectations to Zunhua, a military city northwest of Beijing. When they appeared, there were only more than twenty defenders who had just come up to the city. After they issued a warning, the Jin army climbed up to the city with ropes, and then the one-sided massacre began...

The Ming army guarding Zunhua was only more than 5,000, because the threat to the Ming Dynasty is decreasing now, and the Jin people in the northeast are becoming increasingly powerful. Of course, they cannot leave their troops here and place them empty. But even if these 5,000 troops were prepared, even if the Jin people were 50,000 troops, they might not be able to take it down quickly. After all, Zunhua, as one of the barriers to the capital, is not an easy place to attack. But today, this happened. Just a charge, Zunhua City was broken.

Seeing the Jin army constantly pouring into the city, their brothers fell under their swords one by one. The defenders who had not fought desperately with the enemy for a long time collapsed. All they could do was to escape back desperately, hoping that their brothers could stop the Jin army and create a chance for themselves to escape.

With the same heart, the five thousand men who could still fight were basically stepped on by the Jin army's iron hooves before they even made a resistance. At that time, it was evening, the battle had ended, Zunhua City changed its owner, all the five thousand defenders were killed, and the people in the city were also taken into custody by the Jin army.

Looking at Zunhua City, which was easily obtained, Huang Taiji laughed happily: "Okay, Li Yan, you have indeed helped me Dajin a lot. Ben Khan will definitely not treat you badly."

Li Yan looked at the bodies of those killed compatriots without blinking, but just smiled and said, "This is all your wise decision, and the bravery of the Dajin soldiers. The villain just helped a little. But now is not the time to be happy. We just took down Zunhua, and we are still a long way from taking down the capital of Daming."

"Haha, I have arrived at the heart of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think they can make any more troubles? Didn't you say that except for Liaodong, the combat power of the officers and soldiers of the garrisons in various parts of the Ming Dynasty is not worth a smile."

"With that being said, I can't relax until I take down Beijing after walking a hundred steps. Now, before the Ming Dynasty has noticed it, I should send troops to Beijing immediately."

"Okay, then according to your words! Send the order, everyone is happy tonight, and soldiers will enter Beijing immediately at noon tomorrow!" Huang Taiji gave a loud order.
