Chapter 1383 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west

While Li Guo was fighting fiercely at Heishiling Fort, his general Liu Tichun was naturally also fighting fiercely with the Hou Jin army in the direction of Shenjing Fort and Baoan Prefecture.

When Zhang Shun got the news, although he didn't know what Li Guo's situation was, he already felt the pressure exerted by Hou Jin on the rebels in the direction of Yuzhou. Naturally, he couldn't just sit idly by.

"Brother Li, Brother Zhang!" Seeing the soldiers ushering Li Zicheng and Fatty Zhang in, Zhang Shun quickly stood up, holding one with each other, and asked them to sit down.

"You already know the battle situation at Shenjing Fort. It is estimated that General Li will have a very difficult time defending Weizhou."

"Your Highness, I request you to send troops to rescue him!" Although Li Zicheng was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Shun's promise to Li Guo to become a marquis, he was his nephew after all, and he could not just watch him fall into danger. .

"Rescue, of course we must save!" Zhang Shun said firmly, "According to my king's plan, Zhang Sanbai and his abandoned infant troops should have arrived long ago."

"As long as your nephew does not put himself in danger, even if the situation in Yuzhou, Yuzhou, and the three counties is extremely bad, he will not be harmed at all."

"But, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. We are waiting for tens of thousands of troops to station here, spending thousands of gold every day, which is not the way to use troops."

"In my opinion, it is better to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, put some pressure on the Donglu on the opposite side, and save them from thinking that our rebel army has no one. What do you think?"

"This" Li Zicheng and Fatty Zhang quickly expressed their stance upon hearing Zhang Shun's words, "but please give the order to King Shun!"

"When I am preparing to use Donglu to concentrate our forces to attack Xuanfu South Road, I will divide my troops to capture Jiming Post to force Bao Bao to return troops to the enemy. I wonder what you two think?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh.

"Chicken Cing Station?" Li Zicheng and Fatty Zhang couldn't help but were stunned when they heard this, and nodded at the same time, "That's great!"

Do you know why these two people agreed so happily?

It turns out that this Jiming Yibao town is sixty miles southeast. There is something strange in Thursday, which is the main road from the town to Beijing.

It reaches Longmen Fort to the north and Zhaochuan Fort to the northwest. It is actually a collision between two routes. The northern captives made sudden attacks from here, and it has always been an important defensive position.

Although the rebel army now occupies the Xuan Mansion, they have an unobstructed view to the east, with little cover or warning. Once the Donglu army invades, they will be trapped in the isolated city.

Once Jimingyi is captured, the rebels will not only be able to monitor the enemy's movements in the direction of Baoan Prefecture, but they can also take the opportunity to extend the front to both wings, constantly squeezing the enemy's battlefield space.

The three of them had decided on a plan. Early the next morning, Zhang Shun personally led two battalions of cavalry, Li Shukong and Yang Chengzu, to attack Jiming Post.

The guards at Jiming Post did not expect the rebels to suddenly attack, so they quickly held on while sending envoys to Baoan Prefecture to ask for help.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shun did not panic. While arranging the cavalry under Li Shukong to attack and kill the envoys coming and going from Jiming Post, he ordered Yang Chengzu's artillery to form an array and bombard the town of Jiming Post.

In addition to the original Ming army guards, this Jiming Inn now also has a Niu Luhou Jin soldier stationed there.

Niu Lu'er really didn't realize how powerful the rebel army was, and was immediately bombarded by twenty artillery pieces. He quickly sent soldiers to report to Dorgon Hui: "The bandit army is attacking, armed with twenty Hongyi cannons." , bombarded day and night, the city wall was cracked. If Prince Ruorui arrived a step too late, we would all be reduced to powder!"

Not to mention how Zhang Shun, Li Shukong, Yang Chengzu and others attacked the city, but after Dorgon received the letter asking for help that night, he was shocked and quickly counted his men for rescue.

It's just that although he has a large number of troops, Prince Su Hauge sent 10,000 troops to seize Yanqing Prefecture. The remaining 20,000 troops were divided into Juyongguan, Baoan Prefecture, Longmen Guards, Dushi Fort, etc. in the north of Xuanfu, so he had no manpower. It's also quite lacking.

In a hurry, eight thousand people were finally gathered, and Dorgon led them and hurried over.

It was night, Dorgon rushed to Jimingyi, but because it was getting late, the two sides had already ceased fighting.

Dorgon repeatedly sent soldiers to test, but saw that the rebels were heavily guarded and had no chance to take advantage, so he had to give up.

After finally waiting until dawn the next day, Dorgon took a closer look and found that the rebel army only numbered 6,000, and the "Submissive Thieves" flag was raised high. He couldn't help being surprised.

He couldn't help but go out of the city to form an array, and shouted in front of the array: "Farewell outside Yulin City, I haven't seen King Shun for a long time."

"Humanity says, 'When a scholar has been away for three days, he should treat each other with admiration.' Unexpectedly, today I saw His Highness King Shun being so arrogant and arrogant. He only led 6,000 cavalry. How dare you treat our 'Great Qing Kingdom' as empty?"

"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf. If I'm not here, how can I coax you to come?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun asked Wukong to protect him, and he also stepped forward and laughed.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Dorgon couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and suddenly thought that Baoan Prefecture was empty at this time. Could he be being targeted?

"Without him, you are eyeing my branch guarding Xuanfu South Road, but I am eyeing your branch guarding Xuanfu North Road, that's all!" Don't you think Zhang Shun doesn't want to sneak attack Baoan City?

However, on the one hand, there are insufficient troops in the direction of Yuzhou, and now they are fighting an inextricable battle with Houjin's other troops. On the other hand, although the Baoan City is empty, it is impossible to conquer it in one go. Once Dorgon's cavalry turns back, wouldn't it be a suicide?

Therefore, this time Zhang Shun openly built a plank road to attack Chencang secretly. On the surface, he wanted to seize the important land of Jimingyi, but in fact, his target was the Xuanfu Middle Road, which was quite close to Xuanfu.

The so-called "secured Xuanfu Middle Road" is actually located in the north of Xuanfu City.

Its branch garrison general is stationed at Geyu Fort, fifty miles north of the town, and has jurisdiction over Changyukou, Qingbiankou, Yangfang, Dabaiyang, Xiaobaiyang, Zhaochuan, Longmenguan, Longmenweicheng, Sanchakou and Jinjia Zhuang waited for ten forts.

Among them, Changyukou, Qingbiankou, Yangfang and Dabaiyang are located on the side wall, connected with the Zhangjiakou Fort in the west, guarding the north of Xuanfu.

Geyu Fort, Zhaochuan Fort and Xiaobaiyang Fort are behind the border wall and play a role in supporting and strengthening defense.

The remaining Longmenguanbao, Longmenweicheng, Sanchakou and Jinjiazhuang four forts are connected to Xuanfu Xiabei Road Diao Owl Fort in the east, like a sharp sword inserted directly into the Xuanfu Xiabei Road and Huailaiwei. During the period, Xuanfu Shangbei Road and Xiabei Road were directly cut off from Baoan Prefecture, leaving only a short section connected to Yanqing Prefecture.

If the rebels are really allowed to occupy Xuanfu Middle Road, then Xuanfu Shangbei Road and Xiabei Road will be divided into two sections with Baoan, Yanqing and Huailai. Then it will be sooner or later that these two roads are captured by the rebels. thing.

At that time, no matter whether we talk about "Chicken Cing Post" or not "Chicken Cing Post", I am afraid that the entire Hou Jin army in Xuanfu will only be compressed on the front lines of Baoan, Yanqing and Huailai.

In this way, even if the Weizhou front line guarding Xuanfu South Road is captured by Houjin, I am afraid that it will not be able to save the overall passivity.

Sure enough, when Dorgon heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but said coldly: "In that case, King Shun shouldn't blame me for being rude!"
