Chapter 673 Huang Taiji prepares to retreat(2/2)
This fact once again proves that it would be very dangerous if the Great Jin army was active separately. Several Niulu must be gathered together and acted together to ensure safety. After all, the Northern Zhili is the enemy's territory and danger may occur at any time. In the past, the Great Jin army was active in Northern Zhili, but there was no danger because no one organized them. Now, the Tiger Ben Army has arrived, and the Tiger Ben Army has organized the people. The Great Jin army is operating alone, which is very dangerous.
Immediately, Huang Taiji ordered the two flags' vanguard camps to cut off the connection between the Huben Army's cavalry and Dongjiabao. He estimated that the Huben Army, active on the south bank of the Hutuo River, would return to Dongjiabao after killing the eight Niulu Dajin Army. As long as the Dajin Army intercepted halfway, they would definitely be surrounded. As long as they blocked them, they would be finished. Huang Taiji was still very confident about the field battle of the army.
However, after two or three days of busyness, Huang Taiji received a report saying that he had not found the Hu Ben Army at all. No sign of the Hu Ben Army cavalry was found in the south of the Hutuo River or around Nanpi. The areas where the Jin army vanguard camp arrived were all unman's land, and they could not get any information. They were completely blind. Jiasela and Du Hu Chan could only follow the map and walk around blindly.
"Has the Hu Ben Army flew?"
Jirgalang found it incredible.
"Zhang Zhun..."
Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and spit out two words.
He knew that he had been completely teased by Zhang Zhun. Something happened in the south of Hutuo River long ago, but because the Jin army there was completely wiped out, the information could not be conveyed, so he didn't know anything. He even had a little doubt whether Zhang Zhun personally led the team to the south bank of Hutuo River.
After all, this is the core hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. The Hu Ben Army fought here like a fish in water, and the blockade of news was also very successful. On the contrary, the Great Jin Army was not familiar with the place, and it was extremely difficult to get accurate information. The military strategy is full of knowledge, knowing oneself and the enemy, and winning every battle. The Great Jin Army had inherent shortcomings in intelligence, and it was inevitable that it would suffer losses.
Suddenly, Huang Taiji felt very discouraged. The Hu Ben Army's move was not a conspiracy, but a real open conspiracy. The Hu Ben Army used the huge advantage of fighting at its doorstep. In Northern Zhili, people's hearts were towards the Hu Ben Army, and people helped the Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army was very familiar with everything here. In such a place, the Hu Ben Army of course fought whatever they wanted.
In the past, because of the weakness and incompetence of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the people's war was unable to exert the power of the people's war, allowing the Dajin Army to come and go freely in Northern Zhili. But now, the Hu Ben Army has replaced the imperial army and has become a new hope for the Han people. Under the stimulation of the Hu Ben Army, the people in Northern Zhili were very likely to be armed and join the ranks of fighting with the Dajin Army.
The Dajin Army invaded three consecutive times, causing great losses to the Han people in Northern Zhili. It would be absolutely impossible to say that they did not hate the Dajin Army. These people accumulated a lot of anger, and once they were detonated, the consequences would be very serious. Let's not talk about the rest for now, even if the lives of ten Han people were exchanged for the lives of the Dajin Army, Huang Taiji's troops would be wiped out.
Huang Taiji dared not feel discouraged, and even felt danger. Nowadays, Beizhili looks weak and can be bullied. The Great Jin army can rage here and loot people and supplies everywhere. In fact, this is a big trap. The rage accumulated by the people of Beizhili can burn all the Great Jin army to ashes at any time.
The plan of the Hu Ben Army is very likely to turn this place into a mud pond, causing the Great Jin Army to fall deeply into it, and thus unable to escape. Once the people in northern Zhili, including those horse thieves, gang training, and spontaneous civilians, are armed by the Hu Ben Army and accepted the unified command of the Hu Ben Army, the Great Jin Army will be in great trouble here.
No matter how the Great Jin army killed it, it would be impossible to kill many people. The population of Ming Dynasty was hundreds of times that of the Great Jin Dynasty. Even if he stood still and let the Great Jin army kill it casually, it would take decades to kill it. Not to mention other places, the population of Northern Zhili alone was more than ten times that of the Great Jin Dynasty. Once these people were mobilized, the Great Jin army he brought in was very likely to suffer a catastrophe.
"Ahhhh...you..."
Jirhalang found that Huang Taiji's face was wrong and asked hurriedly with concern.
"Adou, immediately send a message to Yuetuo to Huairou and Miyun to help Ajige."
Huang Taiji said calmly.
"Ah Hun, you're worried..."
Jiergalang naturally understood the meaning of Huang Taiji.
To lead the army north to Huairou and Miyun, it is obviously necessary to ensure the retreat of the Jin army. Huang Taiji did this, obviously because he noticed some dangers, so he seemed so cautious. Huairou, Miyun, and Changping line are the closest retreat of the Jin army. If there is any situation, he can retreat quickly. However, what danger did Huang Taiji notice?
"I'm worried that Zhang Zhun will plan a big action in Beizhili..."
Huang Taiji said slowly.
He briefly said his thoughts to Jirgalang.
"Ah Hun, your worries make sense. I will immediately order Yuetuo to go north."
After hearing Huang Taiji's explanation, Jirgalang also felt that it was dangerous and immediately ordered Yue Tuo to take action immediately. Ajige's power in Huairou was still a little weak. If something unexpected happened, the retreating path of the Jin army would be cut off. This is a very dangerous thing, of course, we must stop it carefully.
After the defeat in Dongjiabao, the Great Jin army seemed a little inexplicably afraid of siege, especially the city that the Tiger Army defended. The worst case envisioned by Jirgalang was that the Tiger Army sent troops north to block Huairou, Miyun, Changping, Tongzhou, Xianghe and other places, and cut off the Great Jin army's retreat. If this really happens, the Great Jin army will lose its skin even if it does not die.
"Order Jiasela and Du Hu Chan to continue to look for the whereabouts of the Hu Ben Army in the south of the Hutuo River! Tell them that Zhang Zhun might be there. If Zhang Zhun is caught or killed, they will be the great heroes of the Great Jin Kingdom. I entrust them to be Bele!"
After Huang Taiji stabilized his retreat, he felt a little relieved and said fiercely.
Chapter completed!
