Ye Xin slammed his palm on the dragon throne. For a moment, all the officials present were so frightened that they trembled.
Ye Xin ignored the ministers in front of him. In Ye Xin's eyes, these ministers were all cowardly idiots. Now that Huang Taiji's army was at the city gates, he could not count on them at all. If he wanted to defend Beijing, he had to rely on himself.
The threat of Huang Taiji had always been there, but for so many years, the Houjin had been blocked by the Ming army in Liaodong and could not take a step forward.
"System, help me check how Huang Taiji got here.”
"Yes, host!"
"Host, the results are out. Right now, Huang Taiji didn't even try to attack the Guanning defense line or Shanhai Pass. This time, Huang Taiji had gone around to Mongolia and arrived near the capital.”
"Huang Taiji recently conquered Mongolia, and the entire Mongolia fell into the control of the Later Jin. That was why Huang Taiji was able to use Mongolia to attack Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan did not seem to have expected this, so he was played by Huang Taiji!”
Huang Taiji's military capabilities were naturally unquestionable. If Huang Taiji brought his troops over, there would be no one in the court to stop him.
It was indeed a good move to travel thousands of miles and take a detour around Mongolia. Unfortunately, in order to bypass Mongolia and fight a surprise attack, Huang Taiji ran all the way. In order to speed up the march, he did not bring any rations.
In other words, the Later Jin army had come to fight a lightning attack and a surprise attack. It was impossible for it to last long. At this moment, Ye Xin only needed to lead his men to defend Beijing and thwart the attack of the Houjin army. Then, the Houjin army would definitely retreat in defeat.
"Yes!"
After figuring out the situation in front of him, Ye Xin was confident. Facing Huang Taiji's attack, Ye Xin could calmly deal with it and beat back Huang Taiji.
However, Ye Xin had confidence in the defense of Beijing. But there was one thing Ye Xin didn't understand. If Huang Taiji ran all the way to the capital, where did Yuan Chonghuan go?
Yuan Chonghuan was the governor of Liaodong and the main person in the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Houjin. But now that Huang Taiji had already killed his way to Zunhua, where did Yuan Chonghuan go?
It had already reached such a dangerous moment, yet Yuan Chonghuan still hadn't come out. This couldn't help but make people suspect this kid.
"System, investigate for me. Where did Yuan Chonghuan go?”
"Yes, host!"
Hearing that Yuan Chonghuan was on his way, Ye Xin felt relieved.
The situation in the capital was already very dangerous, so Ye Xin led a few generals to put on their armor and ascend the city walls to prepare for battle. Ye Xin stood on the city tower of Beijing and looked into the distance. He could only see dust billowing in the area where heaven and earth met. He wondered if Yuan Chonghuan had already started fighting with the Houjin army.
If Yuan Chonghuan wanted to stop the Houjin army in Ji Prefecture, it should not be a problem in principle. Ji Province was only 140 li away from Tong Province, and Tong Province was the capital's final barrier. Thus, they had to completely stop the Houjin army in Ji Province.
What was Huang Taiji doing here?
Should he rob something, or should he rush straight to Beijing and start a decisive battle with Big Ming?
If they were here to snatch things, Huang Taiji would have already packed up and left with Yuan Chonghuan and the Guanning Cavalry. But now, Huang Taiji obviously didn't leave, which meant that he wanted to start a decisive battle with Da Ming.
Since that was the case, Huang Taiji had come from afar and was running out of rations. Seeing Yuan Chonghuan blocking his way, would he really fight a decisive battle with him in Ji Province?
What confidence did Yuan Chonghuan have to let Huang Taiji fight him in Jizhou? In other words, Huang Taiji's target was Beijing, so why would he need to fight Yuan Chonghuan in Jizhou and consume his own forces?
"Not good!"
Thinking of this, Ye Xin immediately jumped up from his chair.
"Immediately inform Yuan Chonghuan that the Guanning Iron Cavalry will attack and catch up to the Manchu Eight Banners!”
"What?"
"Emperor, we can wait for fatigue in the Ji Prefecture and occupy an advantageous position, but why should we take the initiative to attack?”
