The three thousand vanguard troops were almost wiped out by Ye Xin's one thousand soldiers. Abatai, the general under Huang Taiji, was also killed by Ye Xin, shocking the entire Houjin Camp.
"Pass down my order. The army will set up camp here and stop advancing!”
"What is it? Great Khan, we are already here, how can we stop?”
"Yes, Great Khan, we are about to reach Beijing. We can't give up halfway here!”
When Huang Taiji heard the words of his subordinates, he laughed coldly.
"This Great Ming Emperor is definitely not that easy to deal with! If we rashly spend a lot of money, it will be very easy for him to ambush and kill us!”
"Pass down my order. Write a letter of challenge to this emperor. Three days later, I will ask him to fight to the death in Tongzhou Province!”
"Yes, sir!"
After listening to Huang Taiji's words, everyone in the Hou Jin Army felt how terrifying the Brave Guards Battalion was. Everyone's expressions changed, and they followed Huang Taiji's orders to prepare for the final battle with Ye Xin.
I, Ye Xin, won't be so stupid to fight your 20,000 strong army in Tong Province.
Although my Valiant Guard Battalion is strong, we only have a thousand people. It will be difficult for us to fight against your twenty thousand men. Ye Xin wasn't stupid enough to agree to Huang Taiji's request.
Just as Huang Taiji was preparing his troops for the final battle with Ye Xin, Ye Xin had already led his troops back to Beijing, preparing to fight Huang Taiji there.
The Ming Emperor…left?
When Huang Taiji heard this news, his hand holding the brush couldn't help but tremble. After a while, Huang Taiji couldn't help but sigh.
Whether it was Huang Taiji, Ye Xin, or Yuan Chonghuan, they all understood one thing.
It was foolish to want to fight a bloody battle with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in the open plains.
And the best place to fight the Manchu Eight Banners was in front of Beijing. If they fought against the Eight Banners Army here, they could effectively restrict the mobility of the Eight Banners Army and gain the upper hand.
Huang Taiji originally thought that Ye Xin was just a reckless young general, but who knew that Ye Xin's shrewdness and strategy were not below him or Yuan Chonghuan.
With such an emperor in Great Ming…it was really dangerous for the Later Jin!
After Ye Xin led his troops back to Beijing, he began to arrange the defenses of the capital to defend against the attack of the Houjin army.
Because Huang Taiji was beaten silly by Ye Xin, he stayed in Tongzhou for a while and did not continue to march. As a result, Yuan Chonghuan crossed the Eight Banners of Manchu and returned to Beijing with the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
"Your Majesty! Yuan Chonghuan has brought his troops back to help the king!"
After seeing Yuan Chonghuan return, the officials in the city were divided into two factions. They began to criticize each other, unwilling to let Yuan Chonghuan enter the city so easily.
Ye Xin had been sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, not paying attention to the arguments of the officials.
Ye Xin knew better than anyone what Yuan Chonghuan wanted to do. These ministers outside only knew how to talk nonsense. There was no one who had any knowledge at all. It was fine if they did not listen to them.
"Emperor, Overseer Yuan has already arrived outside the city. He is now requesting to bring troops into the city to rest!”
When the officials in the city heard Yuan Chonghuan's request, they instantly exploded.
"No, absolutely not!"
"What if Yuan Chonghuan suddenly takes control of the capital after bringing his troops in? In that case, wouldn't the Great Ming Dynasty immediately perish!”
"Why would we need to wait for Yuan Chonghuan to bring his troops in? I think Yuan Chonghuan must have already surrendered to Houjin, which is why he made such a request!”
The ministers 'worries were not without reason. After all, what was in Yuan Chonghuan's hands now was the Ming Dynasty's most elite force, the Guanning Cavalry. If Yuan Chonghuan really harbored evil intentions, no one would be able to stop the Guanning Cavalry once they entered the city.
Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan's current behavior was too abnormal. Yuan Chonghuan had brought the Guanning Cavalry to stop the Houjin Army.
However, Yuan Chonghuan had been chasing behind the Houjin army and had not followed Huang Taiji. But now that Ye Xin had repelled Huang Taiji, Yuan Chonghuan immediately appeared at the city gate tower and requested to open the city gate to repair himself.
What was the purpose of this? Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan had already cooperated with Huang Taiji, and now that Huang Taiji had lost the battle, he sent Yuan Chonghuan to trick them into opening the city gates?
No matter who saw this, their first reaction would definitely be that Yuan Chonghuan had rebelled!
"Emperor, no matter what, we can't let Yuan Chonghuan enter the city! Please order the Brave Guards Battalion to defend the city and prevent Yuan Chonghuan from attacking the city with his Guanning Iron Cavalry!”
