Chapter 7 Outside Zunhua City
Chapter 7 Outside Zunhua City
"General."
Outside Santun Camp, Zhao Lujiao's servants shouted, "We've arrived at Santun Camp."
Upon receiving the news that the Later Jin had broken through the pass, Zhao Lushi immediately rushed over with thousands of soldiers and horses to reinforce.
He was the commander-in-chief of Jizhen. He was the first person responsible when the Later Jin troops bypassed the Ningjin defense line, broke through the pass of Jizhen and invaded the emergency area.
After three days of forced march, they arrived at Santunying, intending to bring the troops from Jizhen headquarters to fight together.
In the military camp, Chen Ran, who was counting the account books, suddenly saw subtitles that he had not seen for a long time.
'Zhu Guoyan, the general commander of the Jizhen Zhongxie, refused to allow Zhao Lujiao to enter the military camp.'
'Note: You can modify two of the words.'
"Hmm?" Chen Ran raised his head. "Zhu Guoyan is crazy. Why doesn't he let Zhao Lujiao in?"
The reason is very simple. When Jizhen was arguing about military pay last time, Zhu Guoyan was angry and gave his house to Zhao Luejiao, asking him to say a few good words for him. However, Zhao Luejiao took the house and gave it to Chen Ran without doing anything to help him.
After this grudge was formed, Zhu Guoyan had always been thinking about revenge, and now he finally found the opportunity.
As for whether it affected the destiny of the Ming Dynasty and whether the people in the capital suffered, who cares?
Chen Ran did not hesitate and quickly erased the word "rejection" and wrote "welcome".
"grown ups!"
Half an hour later, Zhu Guoyan's servants shouted outside, "The general invites Master Chen to the main hall to discuss military affairs."
'The modification of history has been completed, and the reward will be issued.'
"Distribute 4,000 kilograms of pork and 500 kilograms of 46-proof liquor."
"It's rare to have meat growing, especially 4,000 kilograms of it." Chen Ran was worried that the meat would go bad if left in the storage space.
By the time Chen Ran put on his mountain armor and rushed to the main hall of the military camp, all the generals above the rank of captain had already gathered there.
Zhao Lujiao, who had been refused entry into the military camp before, was standing in the main seat and shouting loudly, wearing a fine mountain armor.
".The Eastern Tartars have invaded, and Zunhua is in danger. All units should count their troops and military supplies, and follow me to send troops to rescue."
Zhu Guoyan took the lead in saluting, and everyone obeyed in unison.
Chen Ran, standing in the crowd, saw subtitles appear in front of him again.
'Get the historical deviation value one point.'
As if worried that Chen Ran wouldn't understand, another line of subtitles followed below to explain.
'Historically, Zhao Lujiao failed to take the troops of Jizhen Zhongxie and eventually died outside Zunhua City. Santunying was also breached a few days later, and the general Zhu Guoyan committed suicide. You changed the course of this history and gained a point of deviation.'
"What's the use of the deviation value? What benefits can it bring to me?" Chen Ran just wanted to know what benefits it could bring to him.
His inquiry rarely received a response.
'If the historical deviation value reaches 100 points, it can be regarded as successfully rewriting the fate of the Ming Dynasty and completing the first task. It can be used to exchange for rewards.'
Chen Ran nodded. "I see. You need to have enough influence to do that."
Over there, Zhao Rujiao shouted again, "The Ming army is mighty!"
Everyone raised their arms in unison, shouting "The Ming army is mighty! The Ming army is mighty!!"
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"
Tens of thousands of troops set out one after another in a mighty force.
All the associations, sentries, departments and divisions were in good order, with drums beating and flags waving.
The Ming army in the second year of Chongzhen still had some combat effectiveness.
Just like the Jizhen troops that Chen Ran is in at this moment, they are the essence of the Jizhen army of nominally 120,000.
They are all field troops!
"Put on your cotton clothes," Chen Ran called out to his men, "and wrap up the horses' legs."
On freezing cold days, marching in the wilderness in the cold wind without enough warmth can lead to a terrible end.
"This is an era where you can lose your life if you catch a cold or have a fever."
Chen Ran, who was on horseback, wrapped himself tightly in his cotton coat and said, "Don't die of illness here before you go back."
Santunying was only forty miles away from Zunhua. The army set out in the morning and arrived outside the city of Zunhua before sunset.
Looking into the distance, there was a lot of noise and flames rising to the sky.
The houses outside Zunhua City were set on fire, the Manchu and Mongolian troops were looting and killing everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of wild beasts.
"Brother Seven."
Ajige, the Beile of Gushan of the White Banner of the Later Jin Dynasty, rode his horse to his brother Abatai and said, "The Ming army from Jizhen is coming."
"I see." Abatai's expression was a little solemn. "There are quite a few Ming people coming. They must be the elite troops of Jizhen."
"They are Zhao Rujiao's soldiers." Seeing the banner of his old friend Zhao Rujiao, Ajige's eyes were full of eagerness to fight. "Do you want to fight?"
Compared to the hot-tempered Ajige, Abatai is much more stable.
He was old and experienced, and knew that Zhao Rujiao was not easy to defeat. "It would be better to wait for the Khan to come, gather the troops, and then destroy them in one go."
"Isn't it Zhao Lujiao? It's not like we haven't fought before!"
The young and energetic Ajige glanced at his brother with a disdainful look and said, "Seventh brother, if the Khan is allowed to do everything at all times, what should we do?"
Hearing this, Abatai immediately understood what Ajige was thinking.
They were all Nurhaci's sons. Some were called the Great Khan, some were called the Great Beile, some were flag owners, and some led many Niulu.
But there are also unlucky ones.
Abatai, born out of wedlock, was raised by a young woman. Although he was called a Beile, he was not even in the top eight and was not even qualified to attend the conference.
Ajige was even more miserable. His two yellow flags became two white flags, and he was suppressed and scolded and punished at every turn.
Today they fined a few fine horses, tomorrow they confiscated two Niulu, and the pain in the bones was severe. According to the tradition of the Later Jin Dynasty, winning a battle not only brought prestige, but more importantly, it could bring spoils of war.
They looked down upon the ordinary Ming army, but the elite troops from Jizhen brought by Zhao Lushi were a very good supplement for the baoyi.
What's more, there are supplies carried by the Ming army.
Abatai's heart was beating fast, and he looked at Ajige, "Fight?"
Ajige nodded firmly and said, "Fight!"
"All troops return to camp, cook at 4am, and march out at dawn!"
Turning his head to look at Zunhua City not far away, Abatai was still a little hesitant. "What about Zunhua City? The Khan's order is to capture this city."
The reconstruction of Zunhua City was led by Qi Jiguang himself. The city was several miles in circumference, with brick and stone walls and all kinds of defensive facilities.
There is a moat outside the city that is three meters wide and two meters deep.
Even if we succeed in taking this city by force, we will incur heavy losses.
"Seventh brother." Ajige looked at the distant Zunhua City and said, "You have also fought many battles. You should know that there is no city in this world that cannot be conquered. When we attacked Shenyang Zhongwei, the city of Shenyang was so strong, but we still conquered it."
Abatai's heart moved slightly, and he instantly understood what Old Twelve said.
When we attacked Shenyang, we first defeated the reinforcements, and then with the help of an internal uprising, we successfully captured the city.
"Seventh brother." Ajige, who had been constantly beaten by Huang Taiji in recent years, was no longer as arrogant as before, and he could also be friendly to Abatai, the illegitimate son. "The Ming army from Santunying has arrived. As long as we defeat these Ming troops, the people in Zunhua will be terrified, and it should not be difficult to defeat the city."
"That's right, defeat the Ming army first and then the city!"
At the same time, the Ming army also wanted to have a decisive battle with the Later Jin army.
Zhao Lujiao glanced at the red clouds in the distant sky and immediately instructed, "All troops should set up camp, cook at four o'clock tomorrow, and set out at dawn."
In winter, the sun rises late and the nights are bitterly cold.
Getting up too early will do you no good except getting cold.
After setting up camp, the last trace of red glow disappeared from the sky.
The cold wind howled in the wild, and the chill was biting.
Under such weather conditions, no one would be stupid enough to arrange troops to launch a night attack, as that would be forcing the soldiers to die.
"Liu Youfu." Chen Ran, who was taking out the meat and wine from the military supply tent, called the accompanying officer and said, "Send these 1,000 catties of meat and 200 catties of wine to Governor Zhao. Send 500 catties of meat and 200 catties of wine to General Zhu. Take another 500 catties of meat and make meat porridge directly, and 100 catties of wine to our brothers in the Special Forces Battalion."
"Sir." Liu Youfu looked at the piles of rice bags, meat and wine jars in front of him, his eyes full of shock. "Where did all this wine and meat come from?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Chen Ran's face darkened. "Do your job."
Liu Youfu's heart tightened, and he quickly saluted and said, "Yes."
There will definitely be a war tomorrow, and in order to win, Chen Ran is willing to give it his all.
Eating meat can make the soldiers strong, and drinking alcohol can help them sleep well and recharge their energy.
As long as he can win, Chen Ran is willing to use anything.
Big pots were set up, bags of grain and chopped meat were poured into them, and soon the aroma of meat filled the camp.
The soldiers lined up with their heads stretched out. After drinking a big bowl of thick meat porridge and two taels of wine, their faces became noticeably rosy.
"grown ups."
Liu Youfu ran over and whispered in Chen Ran's ear, "Both Governor Zhao and General Zhu distributed the wine and meat to their servants."
"understood."
Chen Ran waved his hand and said nothing more about this matter.
The Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions, and there is not much for him to say.
"If I lose the fight tomorrow." Chen Ran looked into the dark night. "Whoever dares to ruin my good deeds, I will let you know how good Zhou Yanru is at writing impeachment memorials!"
The sky brightened and the cold wind subsided slightly.
Chen Ran took out all the remaining two thousand kilograms of meat and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for the soldiers.
Only when you are well fed and well-drinked can you have the strength to fight.
Compared with soldiers from other units, the soldiers of Zuo Shao each had a thick cotton coat, which kept them very warm.
Chen Ran had two divisions under his command, one of which had more than 400 cavalrymen. In order to gather these hundreds of horses, he spent a huge amount of money.
Another division of more than 600 people were all equipped with high-quality Lumi guns. In order to improve shooting efficiency, they also learned from Qi's army to distribute the gunpowder in advance and load it into bamboo joints.
This kind of military force and equipment configuration is absolutely unique in the Ming army.
The sky was getting brighter, and both sides left the camp almost at the same time in tacit understanding.
Historically, the reinforcements from Santunying did not come, but Zhao Lujiao came instead.
This time it was different. Zhao Lujiao came with the troops from the Jizhen headquarters of Santunying.
He brought with him more than 4,000 elite soldiers, including more than 1,000 cavalry.
The headquarters of the Santun Camp and each of its outposts sent out a total of three camps.
Theoretically, the full complement of combat troops should be 9,000, but the Ming Dynasty had its own unique military situation and many soldiers were idle, so in reality there were only a little over 5,000 soldiers.
The total force is nearly 10,000 people, with Zhao Lujiao as the chief general.
The Later Jin had slightly more troops, and including the Mongols who followed them, there were about 13,000 of them.
At the end of the Si hour, the two sides formed their battle array two miles apart.
The surroundings are deserted and a great war is about to break out!
