East Factory Governor

Chapter 241

Fan Wencheng saved Huang Taiji.

His "helpless strategy" was to use [-] soldiers and [-] main forces to pretend to go around the trail, thereby transferring Yuan Chonghuan's army ten miles away.

In fact, after Yuan Chonghuan arrived there, if he saw a flaw and turned back immediately, it would be too late.But because of the darkness and heavy snowfall, [-] slave-building soldiers can produce the effect of tens of thousands, so it is not surprising that Yuan Chonghuan thinks they are the main force of slave-building.

But this alone could not ensure that Yuan Chonghuan would stay where he was, so Fan Wencheng used an extremely insidious trick, which was to use his life to hold Yuan Chonghuan back.The more than 4000 Jiannu soldiers who came down the mountain were all wearing main force armor. They were actually composed of three thousand soldiers and one thousand main forces. Their task was to act as bait to deal with Yuan Chonghuan, or simply let Yuan Chonghuan slaughter.

His strategy proved successful.Hou Jin lost more than 2000 troops in exchange for the time for the army to come out of the small trail.

On November 27, the second year of Chongzhen, Yinshi.

Jiannu's [-] cavalry soldiers came out from the entrance of the trail, and immediately ran to the northeast!

The [-] cavalry soldiers were divided into four groups of [-] each, led by Yue Tuo, Jierhalang, Dorgon, and Yang Guli respectively. They were going to find Yuan Chonghuan to get back the lost dignity of the Eight Banners soldiers!

On Yuan Chonghuan's side, in order to prevent the "main slave building force" from going down the mountain again, he set up camp in the same place, and centered on the big camp, with one sentry within sixty miles before and after, monitoring the movements of the Houjin army.

At Yinshi, Yue Tuo led [-] cavalrymen to the first outpost set up by Yuan Chonghuan. Seeing this, the fifty horsemen of the Ming army immediately turned around and ran towards Yuan Chonghuan's camp.Yue Tuo and his men followed closely behind them.

Soon they reached the second and third outposts, and more and more Ming army cavalry joined the team running back.It's not that they don't have fighting spirit, but that they can't fight against the golden cavalry after two thousand.Shocked and frightened, their first thought was naturally to run to the camp.

The Jiannu cavalry drove the Ming army horse posts one after another to the camp like ducks.Until the end, nearly [-] Ming army horse sentries ran desperately and rushed into the camp.

Yuan Chonghuan was in the camp, reading the battle report presented by his generals.At this time, a loud "rumbling" noise was heard not far away, and the ground under his feet trembled violently.

Yuan Chonghuan and all the generals changed their expressions drastically, and then stood up at the same time.Years of military career told them that this is the signal of the coming of cavalry!Moreover, judging from the momentum, there are at least thousands of these cavalry!

Outside the tent, there was an extremely panicked voice.

"Supervisor, Superintendent, it's not good, Jiannu cavalry soldiers are coming, it looks like at least six or seven thousand!"

Yuan Chonghuan was horrified, and only then realized that he had been tricked into diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and his whole body suddenly seemed to fall into an ice hole.

The cavalry of the Guanning Army is not the opponent of the post-golden cavalry. This is a fact that has been verified in countless battles.Now the cavalry in his hands, excluding the 1000 men who served as horse posts, are only in the early five thousand.Not to mention Jianu's six or seven thousand cavalry soldiers, even if three thousand came, he might not be able to deal with them!
Now there are only [-] defenders in Jizhou City. If all the cavalry in his hands are wiped out, then Jiannu can walk through the city of Jizhou swaggeringly!
Things have come to this, the only way is to take advantage of the night to break out.

Yuan Chonghuan made a decisive decision and asked the deputy general Chen Qian to take a thousand cavalry to stop Jiannu, while he himself planned to take the rest of the troops to withdraw to Jizhou City.

Chen Qian knew that the supervisor was going to abandon his car to keep his handsome man, and his 1000 people were like a piece of fat, which was given to Jiannu and other vicious dogs to eat.But Chen Qian didn't say anything else, and immediately took orders to leave.

Chen Qian immediately assembled a thousand cavalry under his command, divided them into five formations, each with 200 men, and blocked them in the southeast direction of the camp, which was the only way for Jiannu to rush to the camp.

As soon as he got ready, he saw a group of cavalry rumbled to the front.So he immediately rushed up with people, ready to meet the enemy.

After not wanting to get close, I realized that the team of horsemen were all from our own.Those were horse posts driven by Jiannu from various outposts, and there were a total of 500 people.

When the two groups of people met, they were identified in time as their own and did not kill each other, but after the two groups of people intersected, they were in chaos.

Yue Tuo's two thousand cavalry rushed in first, piercing into Chen Qian's formation like a sharp knife.The two sides immediately launched a tragic and spectacular horse battle.The horsemen of Guan Ning's iron cavalry are not weak, but Houjin's horsemen are stronger in comparison, otherwise Yuan Chonghuan would not have been avoiding a decisive battle with Houjin in the field.In addition, Chen Qian's formation was a bit chaotic at the beginning, so he was quickly defeated.

Not long after, two thousand cavalry from Jierhalang also arrived.Ji Erhalang did not go to help Yue Tuo, but directly led the horsemen into the camp.

At this time Yuan Chonghuan had just assembled the rest of the cavalry and was about to retreat.Jierhalang's impact made him unable to guard against it!

Yuan Chonghuan could only rush to the challenge.He first sent 3000 cavalry to deal with Jierhalang, and immediately ran to Jizhou City with more than [-] cavalry.

Not long after he ran out, he found another group of cavalry coming from the front left, and he couldn't help being shocked!But at this moment there was no retreat, as the saying goes, the brave wins in a narrow road, so he drew out his sword and commanded the whole army to rush over.

It was Yang Guli's two thousand cavalry who came to intercept Yuan Chonghuan!

After the two armies entangled in the snow for a while, Yuan Chonghuan finally rushed out, but at this time there were only more than [-] cavalry around him!

Since the slave cavalry came from ten miles away, the horses were at a physical disadvantage.In addition, it was night and it was not easy to pursue. Yuan Chonghuan finally returned to Jizhou City safely with more than [-] horsemen.

However, most of the more than 4000 cavalry he left behind were wiped out by Houjin, except for a few hundred cavalry who broke through in the dark!
In this battle, Yuan Chonghuan wiped out nearly a thousand infantry, five hundred cavalry, and more than a thousand soldiers of Houjin's main force, but he lost more than half of the seven thousand cavalry he brought out!
The big victory he had expected turned into a big defeat in an instant!No matter in terms of the results of the battle or in terms of strategy, he was defeated.

What's more serious is that after seeing Yuan Chonghuan's defeat, Huang Taiji immediately led people to Jizhou and surrounded the city of Jizhou.

After dawn the next day, Huang Taiji ordered the army to pass under the city of Jizhou swaggeringly.At this time, Yuan Chonghuan, who had only six or seven thousand troops in his hands, could only watch helplessly as the Jiannu army passed by under his nose!
After the Jin army bypassed Jizhou, there will be an endless plain in front of it.If they move forward at full speed, they can reach Tongzhou within two or three days!

Astonished!

The trajectory of the wheel of history has been slightly changed, but the direction remains the same.

Later Jin did not sneak across Jizhou as successfully as in history, but they still bypassed Jizhou.It's just that this time they walked directly from the city of Jizhou in a big way.
