Chapter 555

JianNu dared not have a decisive battle with the Ming army, which disappointed emperor Chongzhen. He also understood the advantages of both the enemy and ourselves. If JianNu was willing to have a decisive battle with the Ming army in Zhuolu, it would give them an advantage.

To put it bluntly, the Ming army is not afraid of fighting a war of attrition, but the enemy is afraid. If we can fight with them here, it will be very beneficial to the Ming army. Therefore, he will give Shang Fang's sword to Hong Chengchou and let him govern Lu Xiangsheng and others.

They will have a decisive battle with JianNu in Zhuolu, Hebei Province. If they fight here, they have the advantage of playing at home. Once they defeat the main force of the enemy, they have a great chance to wipe out all JianNu who invaded the Seine this time and destroy them. It is estimated that the Kingdom of Jin will be over after the war.

However, JianNu was very smart and cunning. He avoided a decisive battle with the Ming army, but carried out sports and field operations, which was the most feared by the Ming army, because in high-speed and fast operations, their artillery could not be pushed up, their heavy army group could not be pressed up, and he had no advantage over JianNu.

If it is to deal with the roving bandits, the Ming army has his way to deal with the field battle of the roving bandits. That is to send elite cavalry to quickly chase and kill the other party, beat the mediocre with the elite, and attack the weak links of the other party. In short, it is like JianNu and the Ming army.

However, for the Ming army of JianNu, they dare not do so. The cavalry team of the Ming army has a great advantage over the soldiers of the upstream bandits and can press each other to fight, but they are very frightened of the cavalry of JianNu.

Zu Kuan went from an ordinary servant to the general army. He was fierce and fearless in battle. He often led a team to rush into the battle. But even those who were so fierce and fearless in death were very careful and cautious when building slave cavalry against him. He didn't dare to despise it. He didn't dare to take the team himself, because he was afraid that the enemy wouldn't come back.

Since the Ming army was afraid of JianNu, it meant that they could not use the pursuit tactics they were good at, which became that there was no good way to deal with JianNu.

Originally, they did not believe in evil. Lu Xiangsheng ordered his general Gao Feng to lead five hundred elite cavalry to pursue JianNu from the flank. As a result, the two sides met ten miles away from Zhuolu, and then the two sides launched a fierce battle. Although both sides were hundreds of cavalry and less than a thousand people, they launched a cruel fight.

After this cruel cavalry fight, only 50 horses returned from the peak, and 90% of the people were lost. They said that JianNu also lost a lot, but not more than 100 people. The war ended with JianNu's victory, because the Ming army was repulsed and didn't even get back a head. After JianNu defeated them, They can also cut off the heads of their captives and take them for merit.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that the most elite cavalry and the most elite fists under his command were beaten so badly. He was speechless. He also realized that he had to use conservative strategies to deal with JianNu, rather than the way of surprise.

Therefore, after suffering, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to send troops to pursue them with all their strength. They could only command their army to advance slowly and attack the capital. They planned to drive them away first.

When JianNu entered the fortress, Huang Taiji made a precise deployment and ordered his generals to follow his plan, that is, to avoid a decisive battle with the Ming army, but to attack its weak links with all their strength, mainly robbery. If they take the initiative to surrender wherever they go, they will not hurt them, but only rob property. If they dare to resist, When the city is broken, there are no chickens and dogs.

JianNu implemented such a strategy, but it brought disastrous damage to beizhili, and made the local people's determination to resist JianNu decline. You know, if you fight JianNu, once you lose the war, your family will be destroyed. If you surrender, as long as you hand over a batch of property, JianNu will retreat and save his life.

No one wants to be so spineless and humble, but there is no way. It's useless to call the Ming army and can't protect them.

After careful deployment, Emperor Chongzhen thought that he could have a decisive battle with JianNu near Zhuolu. Whether he won or lost, he could also frustrate his modeling spirit. However, JianNu was very treacherous and cunning. Instead of having a decisive battle with them, he fought with them and continued to play the game of cat and mouse, Also, this mouse is very cruel and ferocious. If the cat is not careful, it will bite back and die.

However, with the order of King Qin of the Ming army, the Ming army arrived one after another, and they were gradually squeezing the living space of JianNu.

The first is the heavy army group of Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng. They are regarded as the main force of the Ming army, followed by high-rise submarine and Zu dashou. They led guanning iron cavalry to enter the customs, ready to cut off the back road of building slaves, and then Baoding, Tianjin, Shanxi and other places successively formed more troops to enter Beijing.

The gathering of so many troops compressed the living space of JianNu. After the Ming army gathered all kinds of troops, they were also considering how to fight JianNu.

Huang Taiji believed that it was not the time to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army. Even if they defeated the main force of the Ming army, the Ming army could soon form a strong army, so he stopped at a good time. After leading the elite troops in person, other branches retreated continuously. They withdrew outside the pass with booty.

Now the Ming army treats JianNu like a tiger. As long as JianNu doesn't take the initiative to attack them, they can only watch JianNu burn, kill and rob here.

As for the initiative to rush out of the city and hunt down the retreating JianNu, it is impossible, because they have also seen JianNu, but they use their most elite cavalry to cover their baggage troops and a large number of people and property kidnapped after the break, and slowly retreat to the north. If they are not careful, they will be bitten by it.

With the retreat of the JianNu army, azig also led the most powerful and elite legion, and then ordered other departments to retreat.

The defenders of the capital are surrounded by JianNu these days. They tremble under the enemy's blade. They just ask the other party not to attack the capital, not to attack the capital. How dare they take the initiative to provoke and chase the other party.

Azig saw that the Ming army in the city was so seedless and did not dare to pursue and kill, so he commanded the army to march away triumphantly, leaving a sign that said: "all armies are free to send, and come back next year."

When JianNu's army disappeared on the horizon, the Ming army in the city cheered. After their desperate resistance, they finally scared the enemy away.

When the news reached the capital, the whole city was thundering with joy. You know, JianNu surrounded them and could break into the city at any time. Many people were scared to death. They were worried that JianNu would break into the city and they would become slaves to the subjugation of the country.

However, the arrogant JianNu finally retreated under the threat of the Imperial Army, which made the people feel at ease, not only the people, but also the emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City. His heart has been tight these days. Tens of thousands of enemy troops surrounded the capital and broke in at any time, Who among them can laugh.

It can be said that since the construction of the slave siege, the spirit of the people in the whole capital has been tightened. They are afraid that the construction slave will break the city at any time.

These people know how stupid and unreliable Daming's army is. Meeting JianNu is like meeting Grandpa.

The common people in the capital live in the imperial city and at the foot of the emperor. They are often superior and despise people from other places. Now they don't have such a sense of superiority.

You should know that it is because they are the capital that they have become the primary goal of building slaves. They start at them every time. It seems that this time is the second time. Who knows if there is a third time.

Now JianNu is only temporarily withdrawn. Everyone can see that JianNu took the initiative to withdraw. This time, he took a lot of advantages and advantages. If they were beaten by the Ming army, he probably wouldn't come. But this time, it's different. They robbed enough and couldn't take it, so the people in the capital are worried, I'm afraid JianNu will come again next year.

However, after JianNu retreated, all kinds of memorials that defeated JianNu, repelled the enemy and asked for a reward floated to the court like snowflakes. All the officers and soldiers claimed to beat the enemy, defeated JianNu and asked the court for mercy and reward.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head. These people were shameless. When JianNu came, they were afraid to die and hid in the city. They would rather die than come out. After JianNu left, they dared to claim that JianNu was defeated by them and asked the imperial court for a reward.

Emperor Chongzhen said, "since you say you have defeated the enemy, you must kill some JianNu to defeat the enemy. Where is the head?"

In the past decades of the Ming Dynasty, it's the most common thing to falsely report military achievements and kill good people. Therefore, the current imperial court doesn't believe the memorials written by military generals. You say how many battles you fought and how many enemies you killed. Well, take the enemy's head first.

If it had been in the past, there would have been a phenomenon of killing good people and making contributions in the army, especially in the process of chasing and killing roving bandits.

The officers and soldiers often dare not fight with the main force of the roving bandits, and then choose to kill a group of ordinary people, cut off their heads, that is, borrow the heads of the roving bandits, and then go to receive a reward.

So much so that the officers and soldiers who pursued the rogue bandits made a lot of contributions and cut off a lot of heads, but the more they killed and suppressed the rogue bandits.

After a long time, the official knows what it is no matter how stupid he is.

But when dealing with JianNu, it's not fun, because JianNu is obviously different from the Han people in the Central Plains in many aspects. They can't kill Liang and take credit, so that these people can't play this skill.
