Chapter 70 Blocking

Abatai and Hauge immediately became nervous and quickly summarized the news they received for analysis. However, after summarizing the news, they found that each senter who sent back the news did not say that they had found a large number of enemy troops. Some sentry riders even captured several enemy troops when they fought with the enemy. After the torture and interrogation, two of the enemy soldiers have been forced to confess their identities. These enemy troops should all come from the Dazhong army. According to the enemy soldiers who confessed, they are all a cavalry battalion belonging to the Dazhong army and belong to the scouting business. They came here only to monitor and harass their slave army to attack Tongzhou City. .

So Abatai and Hauge were relieved, but they knew that even the two enemy soldiers who could not stand tortured and confessed their identities, they did not tell the truth. They only said their purpose, but concealed the troops hidden behind them. At all, Abatai and Hagrid didn't expect it. They really believe it. They think that these cavalry of Xingtian thieves appearing on the periphery of Tongzhou are just the vanguard of Xingtian thieves. The main force of Xingtian thieves is still a certain distance from Tongzhou, so they still have time to take down Tongzhou City. Don't worry too much for the time being. .

Now they have also received the news that Xiao Tianjian, the head of the thief, is leading a large and medium-sized army of more than 30,000 troops all the way, attacking Tianjin Wei. At this time, there are still more than a hundred miles away from Tongzhou. At least within a day or two, it is impossible for Xing Tianjun to reach Tongzhou, so Abatai and Hagrid believes that they still have enough time to attack Tongzhou first, and then decide whether to wait for the arrival of the Xingtian Thief Army here in Tongzhou, or simply rush directly to Tianjin Wei to take the initiative to attack the Xingtian Thief Army.

Abatai believes that he now controls nearly 40,000 Jiannu army, and the main force of the right-hand army of the Dazhong Army led by Xiao Tianjian, but there are only more than 30,000 people. They still have an advantage in terms of military strength, so they don't have to be afraid of the people of the Dazhong army led by Xiao Tianjian.

Even for Abatai, this is still a huge **. Think about it, if he can first defeat Tongzhou at this time, and then defeat the main force of the Dazhong army led by the Dazhong emperor at one stroke, then what a great credit for him! And he reversed the situation of the whole war at once. Even if the garrison of Shanhaiguan persisted, the main force led by the emperor was defeated later. What's the point of them guarding Shanhaiguan? In that case, he Abatai will become the first fierce general of the Qing Dynasty. In the future, his status in the Qing Dynasty will definitely be at its peak. Although it may not be big to win the throne because of his origin, at least there must be no problem with the title of a prince. It's better than that he is still a broken Baylor now.

So after Abatai learned the news, instead of being too nervous, he was eager to try and wanted to discuss with Hauge and do it according to his ideas, but Hauge knew the power of Xing Tianjun. More than two years ago, he followed Dornon to learn about the fierceness of Xiao Tianjian and his generals. Now although he The Qing Dynasty has been preparing for this for more than two years, but Xiao Xingtian has also developed for more than two years. The territory occupied has far exceeded their territory of the Qing Dynasty, and the number of soldiers under his command is probably far more than that of their Qing soldiers. Although he personally led the troops from the north this time, Hagg believes that everything that can be The subordinates he brought to the north are certainly not ordinary people. They must be the elite of the elites in the large and medium-sized army. Therefore, he shook his head repeatedly and did not agree with Abatai's proposal to fight against the people and horses of the large and medium-sized army led by Xiao Tianjian. Instead, he first fought Tongzhou and then talked about the next step. How to plan.

Abatai saw that Hauge disagreed with his opinion. Although he was very unhappy, he felt that Hauge was the prince of the Qing Dynasty, who was not as good as him as the prince of the Qing Dynasty. He really lost the face of their founding warriors, but he was deterred the identity of the prince and the flag owner of the blue flag, although he was this time. The coach who entered the customs, but he also had to listen to some of Hagrid's opinions. Otherwise, even after he won, Hagrid only needed to say a few slanders in front of his father, Huang Taiji. At that time, he still couldn't eat and walk around. If he couldn't get the credit, he would be wiped clean by their father and son, so Abatai I have to agree with Hagrid's opinion for the time being, and let's talk about it first.

So on the morning of the third day when Abatai and Hauge led troops to surround Tongzhou City, Abatai once again began to launch a fierce attack on Tongzhou City.

But when they were determined to defeat Tongzhou City, more than 30 miles northeast of them, thousands of elite cavalry of the middle army were quietly gathering and staring at them silently, like a fierce beast waiting for the opportunity to hunt. When his prey appeared flawed, it rushed to him. The prey bit off the prey's neck.

At the same time, under the cover of a large number of scouts, a large and medium-sized army armed with teeth, led by their emperor Xiao Tianjian, is also marching aggressively from Tianjin Wei along the south bank of the Lu River, that is, the North Canal, towards Tongzhou City, and a piece of dust is rising on the road. The chariots and horses accompanying the army even run across the dirt road, dragging artillery vehicles and a large number of ammunition, waiting for a fatal blow to Abatai's troops.

The Rangers and the scouts under Wang Chengping, in the southeast of Tongzhou, finally met the scout brigade of the right army under Xiao Tianjian's command, and the coach who led these right scout brigades was Lin Luo, who now replaces Shi Ran.

After meeting the cavalry and scouts under Wang Chengping's command, Lin Luo immediately temporarily took over them and let him cooperate with the scouts of his scouts. Within 20 miles of the front of the main force of the right army, he opened a dense cobweb-like warning curtain. Nearly a thousand cavalry and scouts were almost thunderous. At such a speed, they flattened the ridings of the Jiannu army they encountered with superior troops.

Although the ridings sprinkled by Jiannu are also quite fierce and brave people in the slave army, there is a big gap in vision between the two sides. The large and medium-sized army has begun to equip the scouts and battalion officers at the higher level, so during the day, the scouts of the large and medium-sized army can be compared with Jiannu's. The sentry found the enemy a lot in advance, so after the warning curtain of the two sides met, the scouts of the Dazhong army could be far ahead of the Jiannu sentry, and they found the Jiannu sentry, and either gathered more scouts to encircle and suppress them, or set up an ambush to kill these Jiannu sentry. In short, the result of the two sides waiting to fight was Jiannu. On the one side, it suffered losses and was quickly cleaned up a lot.

To some extent, the war pursues the unilateral transparency of the battlefield. Before the popularization of ancient telescopes, the two sides fought for courage and skills to see who could find the enemy in advance within sight. However, once one side mastered the telescope, the victorious sky on the battlefield began to have a Fang tilted. Obviously, these simple monoculars owned by the Dazhong army have made it impossible for the Jiannu army to take the initiative on the battlefield.

Although some Jiannu sentry horses escaped under the encirclement of a large number of scouts of the Dazhong army, they could not detect that there was an elite man of the Dazhong army killing Tongzhou City at this time. Even if they fled back to the Jianshi of Tongzhou Jianjun, the news they could only Only in the southeast of Tongzhou, a large number of Xingtian army scouts were found, and the information that can be provided to Abatai and Haug is also extremely limited. Such information asymmetry makes it impossible for Abatai and Hauge to determine the situation of the whole battlefield in a short time.

On the contrary, Xiao Tianjian firmly grasped the initiative of battlefield information in this waiting battle, and basically obtained the unilateral transparency of the battlefield. Through the actions of the scouts, he always mastered the dynamics and division of the Jiannu army.

In this way, Xiao Tianjian led this elite general under his command and inserted it straight into the waist and abdomen of Jiannu around Tongzhou City like a sharp sword.

At this time, Abatai and Hauge were still ignorant of the leaders who led the troops under Tongzhou City launched a fierce attack on Tongzhou City again and again.

On the third day, Jiannu's offensive was not as easy as Abatai and Hauge thought. The Tongzhou garrison, which had already declined in morale two days ago, suddenly boosted morale for some reason, especially the defenders around the North Gate, which was the main attacker of the Jiannu Army, got up early on the third day. Come on, he was as excited as beating chicken blood. Under the leadership of the main general Tang Tong, he actually exerted his combat effectiveness beyond their own strength. In the face of the tide, the slave army attacking the gate of the city, the defenders in the city attacked the city one after another to fight back the slave army under the city.

Tang Tong swept away the decline. On this day, he personally wore two sets of armor, took all his family to the city to sit in command the defense of the city, kept running back and forth on the top of the city, cheering the soldiers under his command, and dispatched the people to constantly transport the guard equipment to the wall for the defenders.

Such a situation made Abatai and Hauge a little confused. They thought that the Tongzhou garrison had no reinforcements outside and no fighting spirit inside. After the third day, the army must have dispersed. In the face of the strong attack they launched, it must have collapsed like rolling soup and splashing snow, so that they could easily capture Tongzhou. The city, but it's not as simple as they think. After the third day, the defenders' morale was boosted, which was much more tenacious than the previous two days ago. Unexpectedly, the repeated offensives that made them end in failure. The angry Abatai and Hager couldn't help cursing and vowing to break through Tongzhou City, they slaughter them all. The soldiers and civilians in Tongzhou are not allowed.

It was not the soldiers and civilians of Tongzhou. On the third day, their character suddenly broke out and they had the consciousness of guarding Tongzhou City. It turned out that for the soldiers and civilians of Tongzhou, they could be said to be in a kind of lonely and desperate persistence. This kind of despair made them unable to see a trace of future. They were all dead. Some people couldn't help but be illusions. Thinking that even if Jiannu invaded the city, he did not necessarily have to kill them, so some people cherished their lives and did not want to fight to the death, which was inseparable from people's psychology. However, since last night, there has been a "rumor" circulating in the city from some population, and the whole Tongzhou City has been secretly rumored all night. The Dazhong army will arrive soon. The Dazhong Emperor vowed that as long as Tongzhou City can withstand Jiannu for another two days, then Dazhong Army will definitely kill outside Tongzhou City, defeat this group of Jiannu and save the lives of the soldiers and civilians in Tongzhou City. Now there are people and horses of Dazhong Army not far outside the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city only need to insist. In two days, Jiannu will be defeated!

Although this rumor can't prove its authenticity, it is undoubtedly like a shot of strength for the military and civilians in the city, giving them a glimmer of hope. Although the defenders in the city think that the Dazhong army is also their enemy, compared with Jiannu, the two powers are harmful to each other. Although the Dazhong Army is a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, there are many rumors about the Dazhong Army.

At least the people and soldiers all think that the soldiers in the middle and middle armies are by no means cruel people. Since they rebelled, they have rarely heard about the slaughter of the city after the Xing Tianjun broke the city. (Yan Chongxi Tu Xiezhou is not the slaughter of the whole city, but the selective slaughter of a group of stubborn rebellious people! For most people, they have not been slaughtered!) Moreover, the Dazhong Army has never plundered the people as slaves, and even rarely heard of raping women. Everyone knows that since Xing Tianjun became an army, Xiao Tianjian has become very strict with his subordinates. Xing Tianjun has his own set of strict military laws, which makes Xing Tianjun have an excellent reputation among the people, so this is also the Dazhong Army's north for more than two months. Since then, there has been almost no resistance to attack the city. Everyone knows that their life will be much better than before if the city is broken. If the soldiers and the people in the city work hard, they will really go to hell!

It is often those who resisted the most fiercely by those officials and some gentry. The Xing Tianjun rebelled. It can be said that the spearhead pointed directly at them. Therefore, it is the people who often resisted the Xing Tianjun who used to be the military and the people, but this small group of people can't save the situation at all. Now they are the army in the city. When the people learned that the Dazhong army was about to come to Tongzhou to fight hartan, they suddenly got excited again, and their hearts also ignited a flame of hope again. Two days were not too long for them. Don't they have blocked Jiannu for two days? Didn't Jiannu fail to enter the city? Therefore, after the two days of experience in the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city now have hope. Therefore, when the Abbatai army stormed Tongzhou City on the third day, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city was greatly boosted, and the city and Jiannu fought to the death.
