"Ah?"
After Ye Xin finished speaking, everyone present was very surprised.
"Emperor, if Huang Taiji detours around Jizhou, it is indeed possible, but if he does that, he will be delayed by one more day, and his arrival in the capital will be delayed!”
Ye Xin's analysis made all the generals present dumbstruck. In fact, not to mention these generals, even Yuan Chonghuan felt that Huang Taiji would fight him in Jizhou and not waste another day.
"Emperor, this…Huang Taiji wouldn't do this…"
"Bastard, stop nagging. The military situation is urgent. Hurry up and inform Yuan Chonghuan!”
Ye Xin knew that every second counted. If Huang Taiji bypassed Ji Prefecture, then everything would be over.
Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry were currently waiting in Jizhou. If Huang Taiji went around, Yuan Chonghuan would have to follow behind the Manchurian Eight Banners Army.
With Huang Taiji's speed, Yuan Chonghuan probably wouldn't be able to catch up to him once he reached the capital.
Although the generals present did not agree with Ye Xin's words, Ye Xin was the Emperor, so they could only follow his request and inform Yuan Chonghuan.
However, what the generals did not expect was that before the news could spread, the news from the front line came back first.
The development of the matter was exactly as Ye Xin had expected. Huang Taiji did not fight Yuan Chonghuan in Jizhou at all. Instead, he went around Shunyi and headed straight for Tongzhou!
"Ah?"
The guards on the city gate tower looked at each other with their mouths wide open, unable to speak. He didn't expect the Emperor to predict the development of the situation. Huang Taiji was actually so cunning, avoiding the Ming army's edge and attacking the vital points.
"The Emperor is indeed powerful!"
The generals on the city gate tower originally did not think highly of Ye Xin and thought that Ye Xin was just spouting nonsense and giving random commands, but now it seemed that their Emperor's military standards were indeed formidable.
As a result, all the generals were impressed by Ye Xin. At this moment, they all knew that this Emperor of theirs was definitely not a novice in military affairs. He possessed excellent military talent, and perhaps under his command, the Ming army could really hold the capital.
This person was definitely a very powerful opponent. He definitely could not be ignored. Otherwise, the capital could fall to him at any moment.
Ye Xin was currently sitting on the city gate tower, calmly giving orders. He had his messengers run back and forth one by one, bringing back the news from the front line in time while helping Ye Xin make decisions.
"Report! Lord Yuan had already led the Guanning Cavalry to pursue Huang Taiji!”
"Report! Huang Taiji was already approaching Tongzhou, Tongzhou was in an emergency!”
All the officials on the city gate tower paled in fear when they heard the news being passed back and forth by the messengers.
Ye Xin, on the other hand, had been calmly listening to the orders of the messenger, calmly commanding the battle.
"Mobilize the three battalions of Tongzhou Province to form the Manchu Eight Banners. Inform Yuan Chonghuan to advance quickly. We must attack from both the front and back with the Tongzhou battalions to stop the Manchu Eight Banners!”
"Yes, sir!"
Ye Xin didn't have much faith in the fighting power of the three battalions. The three battalions of the capital had been established by Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, and they had been quite powerful back then, but now that these civil officials had taken over, they had been greatly weakened.
The three battalions might be able to deal with other armies, but they were no match for the fierce Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
However, even if the three battalions couldn't deal with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, they could stop them and buy time for Yuan Chonghuan.
As long as the three battalions of the capital could stop the advance of the Manchu Eight Banners, Yuan Chonghuan would be able to lead the Guanning Cavalry into battle. After all, the Guanning Cavalry could fight the Manchu Eight Banners 'Iron Blood Cavalry head-on. As long as the Guanning Cavalry came up, the Manchu Eight Banners' arrogance would end here.
After hearing Ye Xin's command, the three battalions of the capital immediately went out to meet the enemy, engaging in a bloody battle with the Manchu Eight Banners outside Tongzhou City.
In the age of ancient weapons, infantry fighting cavalry was basically courting death. Furthermore, they were facing the ferocious and powerful Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. However, it just so happened that the three battalions of the capital had been established to fight against the Mongolian cavaliers, so they were just as effective against the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
"Report! The three battalions of the capital had been defeated by Huang Taiji and he had taken over Tong Province!”
"Yes!"
Ye Xin frowned, not expecting the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to be so powerful. But…Ye Xin's goal was to have the three battalions of the capital block the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and buy time for Yuan Chonghuan's arrival, so where had Yuan Chonghuan gone? Why hadn't he rushed over to help with the battle?
In his anger, Ye Xin kicked the table in front of him off the city gate tower.
"Where's Yuan Chonghuan? His Guanning Iron Cavalry ate sh * t, why hadn't they rushed over after such a long time?”
