    General Gao Shiyin of the Leopard Tao Army flanked the Tatars. He led the Suzaku Army's middle camp and left camp, one A-class battalion and one B-class battalion. There were also one hussar and one hunting cavalry, and then the right battalion of the Chinese cavalry and saber cavalry.  , there is also a third-class rear battalion in the army, some artillery and rocket troops, about 20,000 people.  The white tiger army's left battalion general Gao Gui made a flank attack on the bandit, and led the white tiger army's left battalion, the second-class battalion, the two C-class battalions in the middle and front, the Suzaku army's right battalion, plus the Chinese cavalry's left battalion, saber cavalry, and some artillery and rockets.  There are about 20,000 soldiers.  Their task is to circle around and attack the capital. After wiping out the bandits in the city, some people will be left to defend and then close the city gate. The rest will continue to go north and attack the bandits from behind.  This is the operational plan of the General Staff. The 230,000 Jingbian Army and friendly forces are divided into six parts. Three of these parts are relatively closely integrated. Only Sun Sanjie's retreat and two large flank attacks are unpredictable factors.  Larger because the distance is too far.  This plan is also the result of the planning of Chief of Staff Wen Fangliang, Deputy Ministers Zhong Susu, Zhong Tiaoyang, Gao Shiyin, Senior Zanhua Qin Yi, Wen Shiyan, and a large number of ordinary Zanhua.  However, with the news of the bandits, Han and North Korea believed that this plan might be slightly adjusted.  He said: "The sentries were not closed at night. Yesterday, the bandits Liu Fangliang and Liu Xiyao led part of the cavalry to Qinghe Store. This morning, the bandit Li Zicheng personally led the army. There is also intelligence that the bandits have been stationed in Tongzhou and Liangzhou.  Soldiers and horses are stationed outside in Xiang, Fangshan, Xianghe and other places. They are restricted to arrive at Qinghedian within three days, that is, before Shen Shi on the 19th. Anyone who has not arrived after this time will be killed. " He said: "But the bandits march slowly.  , With so much delay, many battalions may not be able to arrive after 19 days. Intelligence shows that their cavalry only patrolled the area to the left and right of Qinghe Store and completely ignored the rolling mountains to their west. They may have thought that.  "It's because our army can't form a formation there." Han Chao pointed to the sand table and said, "So why should I wait until the war starts to attack the bandits' army? I can set off a day or two earlier and hide in the Western Mountains in advance."  " Pointing to the large ridges in the Western Mountains, Han Chao said: "Especially Cuifeng Mountain, which is only thirty miles away from the capital. It has a steep mountain shape in the east and is covered by clouds and trees, but it is gentle in the west and south. It is called Pingpo Mountain, Wolonggang.  "Our army can hide in the mountains and attack the capital immediately when the time comes, entering the inner and outer cities through Fucheng Gate and Guang'an Gate respectively." He said: "If we set off early, the army will not be rushed so much, so we will need less."  Horses and mules, or using horses and mules to carry more artillery shells and rockets, can also quickly enter the city and eliminate the bandits in the city, so as to avoid long nights and nightmares." He said: "The general also thinks that the troops to attack the bandits on the side can be used again.  If there are more, the Chinese army has a garrison of 50,000 people, which is too abundant. We can send another 10,000 people to flank the bandits. After seizing the capital, we can leave 10,000 people to defend the city, and another 20,000 people to go north and use foot and cavalry to intercept them.  More rogue thieves, especially the rogue thieves from the old camp. "Everyone is thinking deeply. Indeed, looking at the rogue thieves' procrastination and carelessness, they can indeed ambush and hide in advance, so that they don't need so many horses.  Mules can also deliver more infantry in that direction.  There are also soldiers and horses that flank the Tatars, and they can also ambush in Jundu Mountain in advance. There are many mountains there, and there are many places where soldiers and horses can be hidden.  Wang Dou looked at the sand table and listened to the discussion. Wang Dou leaned towards Han Chao's opinion when attacking the bandits, but he needed more information when attacking the Tatars.  Although Dorgon led the army to Shunyi, the Tatar bandits were all present, and all aspects of the enemy's movements were basically as expected by the staff. However, for a more detailed response, he wanted to see the specific arrangements of the Tatar bandits. He decided to go back tomorrow.  Watch for a day, and then flank the bandit's troops to take the first step. ?¡­ ?At nearly noon on the 17th, Li Zicheng led his generals and a mighty team northward. They walked along the official road, passed by Shibei Pu and Shuangxian Pu, and finally arrived at Qinghe Store.  They are basically cavalry, the infantry will arrive in the next few days, and the artillery car camp may also arrive tomorrow.  Their large group passed through Qinghenan Town, crossed Guangji Bridge, and finally arrived at Qinghebei Town.  This town prospered because of the Qinghe River, and was divided into South Town and North Town with the Qinghe River as the boundary. Because it is located on the main road from the capital to Juyongguan, like Shahedian and other places, it has always been very busy.  However, there was not a single resident in the town at this time. When Liu Zeqing was defeated and escaped through Qinghedian yesterday, all the residents in the town dispersed and fled north into Changping.  When crossing Guangji Bridge, Liu Fangliang and Liu Xiyao, who were stationed in Beizhen, rushed to greet them. This bridge is also a stone arch bridge, also known as Qinghe Bridge. It was built in the 14th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. It is already very old, but the bridge is not long, only 30 years old.  step distance.  Seeing the two of them, Li Zicheng didn't bother to rest, and immediately asked for the battle report from the front. The two said that the Jingbian Army and Cavalry had once invaded Qinghedian, but they were repelled by them.As the number of cavalry increased, their attacks became more and more ineffective.  They were stationed at Damerling and Tangjialing stores ten miles away. We tried to scout there, but were also repelled by them. Now the two sides are in a stalemate, and no one can do anything about the other.  Li Zicheng was a little relaxed. He had been worried that Qinghe Store would be captured. At present, it seemed that Changping and here were the forward troops of the Jingbian Army. Their main force may have just arrived or not yet arrived in Changping Prefecture, which gave him enough  Preparation time.  He hesitated for a moment, and other thoughts flashed across his mind. Should he concentrate his forces to kill the vanguards of the Jingbian Army first?  However, he later rejected this idea. This battlefield was the most suitable for the Dashun Army. He was worried that eating these forwards would scare away the subsequent Jingbian Army.  After all, his main army has not yet fully arrived. The current situation is in the best interests of the Dashun Army.  Two or three miles west of Qinghedian is Dongshengling, which is three miles long from east to west and one mile wide from north to south. The mountains are not high, but compared with the open and flat fields, the sight is good. Li Zicheng led his generals and more than a hundred cavalry.  Riding up Dongsheng Ridge.  He rode his horse on the hill and looked out. In front of him was a vast wilderness. The land was flat, with few trees and almost no vegetation. There were only some sparse trees on both sides of the official road.  Looking around, there are no villages, because this area is very short of water. There is only a Tangjialing store ten miles away, and then the Baerling opposite, which is wider and has higher mountains.  He raised his eyes and looked for a while, and saw dozens of cavalry running around in the field. Judging from their armor, they were his own cavalry and the Jingbian army's cavalry.  He saw them chasing each other, going back and forth, and the fight was very fierce. However, Li Zicheng watched for a long time and saw that there were only a few casualties among them.  "However, Li Zicheng felt relieved. It seemed that although the Jingbian Army was brave, it was not impossible to cope with it.  They could easily defeat Liu Zeqing from the outer camp, but they seemed helpless against the troops from their own old camp.  They went west to Dongsheng Ridge and ran along the Qinghe River. This Qinghe River is an important river thirty miles north of the capital. It is said that it originates from Yimu Spring in Changping Prefecture, then flows through Shuangtadian, and flows here from the southeast, and then  The east flow meets the Shahe River and then enters the Baihe River.  The Qinghe River is not wide, only twenty or thirty steps, and the water is not deep. You can cross the river easily by riding a horse and wading on foot.  But five or six miles west of Dongshengling, there are more lakes and springs. From time to time, manors built by dignitaries can be seen, and there are traces of rice fields around them.  Then we see the vast Fuhai, surrounded by large and small gardens, the most famous of which are Tsinghua Garden and Shaoyuan.  The first one was built by Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing and a relative of the emperor during the Wanli period. Due to its grand scale, it is known as "the most famous garden in Beijing".  Built with a height of one meter and ten thousand bells, it guides the lake water outside the east wall of Tsinghua University Garden. It is elegant and beautiful, taking the meaning of "a spoonful of Haidian".  As you go further west, gardens gather together, and you can see pavilions and pavilions complementing the lakes and mountains.  But at this time, the cavalry was galloping, and everyone was laughing wildly. The troops heading north were all rushing to station themselves by the lake. They especially liked the various gardens. They were running around, with horseshoes beating, and there was no elegance at all.  Li Zicheng said nothing and continued to run west. Four or five miles to the west were Wengshan Park and the West Lake. Directly north of Wengshan Park was Wengshan Mountain.  The benefactor Wan Yanliang once built the Jinshan Palace here, and the wet nurse of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty helped the holy lady build Yuanjing Temple in front of Wengshan Mountain. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty also built a palace on the lakeside, which was called "Haoshan Garden". During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, General Wei Zhongxian  The mountain garden is his own.  There are also many gardens around Wengshan Mountain. To the west of Wengshan Mountain is Red Mountain and to the southwest is Yuquan Mountain. Li Zicheng saw that the mountains in front of Hongshan Mountain were gentle and about three or four miles long from east to west, so he thought that many troops and horses could be arranged here.  Then attack the Jingbian Army's position from the left wing.  They galloped past Wengshan Mountain and entered the plain between Hongshan Mountain and Yuquan Mountain. The flat land here was three or four miles wide from east to west, and three or four miles wide from north to south.  Li Zicheng looked at the mountains on the west side, which seemed to be quite gentle. He said, "Can we gather troops in the plains behind the Red Mountain, and then climb over the mountains and bypass the Baiwang Mountain in front?" Liu Fangliang said: "The last general has sent sentry cavalry.  It's easy to explore. It takes less than two miles to climb the mountain and then enter the valley on the other side of the mountain, and then enter the plains." Li Zicheng nodded, and there was another place to attack the flank of the Jingbian Army. ?¡­ ?At Shenshi on April 17, around 3 or 5 pm, the mighty Qing army crossed the Baihe River from the pontoon bridge.  Dorgon rode his horse and stood on Hunu Mountain, a few miles away from the river, and looked over. He could clearly see the Shunyi City opposite. He saw that the county town was not big, with a city perimeter of about four miles. At this time, the thieves in the city could not get out.  He only watched his army crossing the river.  Earlier, sentries came to report that when the vanguard of the army arrived, a bandit cavalry came out of the city and seemed to want to burn down the pontoon bridge. However, they were repelled by the troops led by Niulu Zhangjingsol and Nuo of the Xian camp of Gebushe, causing Dorgon to come out all over.  Breaking into a cold sweat.  Although Thor and No.People reported that there seemed to be a pontoon bridge on the river course twenty miles upstream of the Baihe River, leading to Caohe Camp at the foot of Niulan Mountain on the opposite side.  However, there is a bridge directly facing the city, and taking a twenty-mile detour to cross the White River and walking another twenty miles to the city are two completely different concepts.  Building a bridge is very hard, especially building a bridge that can carry thousands of kilograms of heavy artillery is even more difficult. Fortunately, when the army came, everything went smoothly.  He looked at the Shunyi City opposite. The sentry cavalry reported that the Jingbian Army captured Changping City yesterday, but they did not capture Shunyi City, which is seventy miles away, nor Huairou City, which is also seventy miles away. It seems that  They don't want to spread their forces.  "You don't want me to want it." Dorgon had a smile on his face. So far, everything is going well.  At this time, the sentry cavalry came to report that Liu Liangzuo, the bandit general in Shunyi City, left the city and surrendered.  The smile on Dorgon¡¯s face became even brighter.  (To be continued.)
