After returning to the camp five miles away from the new city, Abatai had a headache, although the Eight Banners Army was good at attacking cities, it was also aimed at what city, there were countless cities in various parts of the Ming Kingdom, and many cities were extremely well defended.

In the past, the Eight Banners Army only relied on the blessing of the ancestors, and those cities were controlled by a group of useless Ming troops.

But whenever you encounter the Ming army who is not afraid of death to defend the city, you will have a headache, even if you capture it, it is a heavy loss, so Huang Taiji asked the entry to plunder people, livestock, food and property, and try to detour when encountering a well-defended city.

This new city has the crown prince of the Ming Kingdom, the status is noble, the generals who defend the city will definitely defend it, plus there is no cover of shield vehicles, in the process of approaching the city wall, the Qing soldiers will suffer heavy losses.

Abatai has always been cautious, and at this time, he remembered the words of the dead fat man of Huang Taiji, and the idea of retiring from the army sprouted in his heart.

At this time, the horse was returned, and an army of 10,000 came to join the army.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Qing army camp five miles away from the south gate of the new city was densely covered with Qing army camp tents, all kinds of flags fluttering, and a huge woven gold dragon was inserted in front of the Chinese army's big tent.

In the wide tent of the Chinese army, there were Qing generals in gilded armor, all of whom had shiny scalps on their foreheads and a slender money rattail behind their heads, shaking their heads and talking about the military situation.

Since Yanguli arrived, he insisted that the siege should continue tomorrow, and Abatai had no choice but to convene a military council to discuss how to fight tomorrow.

Among the generals of the Qing army, Abatai sat in the first place, Yanguli sat on the left side of the lower head, and the other generals of the blue flag and the white flag stood on both sides of the lower head.

Seeing that everyone was greeting each other, Abatai said, "What do you think of Elu's proposal to continue attacking the new city tomorrow?" ”

"Since my Qing soldiers entered the Ming Kingdom in Jinggi in July, they have been invincible, even Kechangping, Liangxiang, and Dingxing, Xia'ansu, Zhuozhou, Gu'an, Kewen'an, Baodi, capture 12 counties of Mingguozhou, kill hundreds of Ming garrisons, 1,000 generals and above, capture hundreds of thousands of people and wealth, such a big victory, why not be afraid of this small new city, tomorrow it is enough to raise troops in one fell swoop!"

It was Abatai's second son, Bo He, who spoke, and his words immediately caused the howls of the generals present, and he seemed to have forgotten that he was still being played by the Ming army as a sand sculpture just today.

Abatai glared at his second son, and Bo and Yu froze and stood aside without saying a word.

At this time, Yanguli said: "Rao Yu Baylor, the crown prince of the Ming Kingdom is in the new city, such a good opportunity, my Qing soldiers will definitely break the city and kill it, in order to deter the Ming court!" ”

Abatai said: "The new city is so close to the capital of the Ming Kingdom, if the city is attacked on a large scale, how about the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom send reinforcements?" How about sending reinforcements from all walks of life? ”

Yanguli said with a smile: "Don't worry about spare Baylor, the king of Wuying County has been arranged, our army still has 70,000 male divisions, of which 10,000 block reinforcements from all directions, Belle Lord and I led an army of 30,000 to attack the city, and the prince of Wuying County led an army of 20,000 to continue to march east to plunder all parts of the Ming Kingdom, and take advantage of the situation to open the road to the cold valley pass, 10,000 to transport heavy booty and drive the people of the Ming Kingdom out of the pass, I will wait until the city is broken and killed by the crown prince of the Ming Kingdom. ”

Bo Hezhen asked: "Will it be too few to send only 10,000 troops to block the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Yanguli said with a smile: "Beizi doesn't know, those general soldiers of the Ming Kingdom will only send a small group of Ming troops to harass our army behind the formation a few times, and after my Qing soldiers take the initiative to attack, they will shrink in the city like a turtle and dare not stand, and my 10,000 Qing soldiers will block it in several ways, no problem at all." ”

Hearing this, the generals in the tent laughed one after another, and they all felt that Yanguli was appropriately described.

Abatai, who was sitting on the main seat, thought that he was senior, so naturally he couldn't be as happy as everyone else, he stroked his whiskers, nodded slowly, looked at Yanguli and said, "Forehead, this strategy for dividing the army is your plan!" ”

Yanguli was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Rao Yu Baylor is wise!" ”

Yanguli since the battle of Liangxiang was disabled by a mysterious Ming army, he managed to finally find out the number of the Ming army, when he knew that the leader was actually a hairy child, he almost vomited blood, and vowed to kill the prince of the Ming Kingdom with his own hands.

However, after that battle, the prince of the Ming Kingdom actually hid in Beijing City and never came out, which made Yangguli angry, if it wasn't for Huang Taiji's strict order not to attack Beijing City, he would have led the army to attack the city.

This time, when he heard that the crown prince had finally left Beijing and was still on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Yanguli was excited and hurriedly asked the coach Azig for his life and offered this plan.

Abatai sneered in his heart, just that idiot of Azig could think of such a plan? He continued: "Since the King of Wuying County has made a decision, then we will discuss how to attack the city!" ”

Bo He said: "According to my report in the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, more than three months ago, the prince of the Ming Kingdom was ordered to pacify the displaced people in Beijing, and built this city here, and the soldiers recruited in the city were all selected from the displaced people, and there is still a Yongwei battalion under the prince of the Ming Kingdom to garrison. ”

A banner master of the Eight Banners of Mongolia said: "This city has been built in such a short period of time, the prince of the Ming Kingdom has some ability, since most of the soldiers in the city are new soldiers, there is no need to worry!" ”

Yanguli was surprised: "Beizi, you explain that the brave guard battalion of the prince of the country is also in the city?" ”

The Yongwei Battalion beat him with 5,000 men and horses, and his tens of thousands of elite tendons of the Eight Banners broke and fractured, and his vitality was greatly damaged, which made him feel cold.

Bo He sneered: "Yes, what's wrong with the forehead?" ”

There was silence in the hall, and many people knew that Yanguli was basically wiped out by a Jingying army in Liangxiang, and if it wasn't for the fact that he would have atoned for his crimes in a row, it is estimated that he would have been beheaded by Azig on the spot.

In the silence, Yanguli saw the contemptuous eyes on everyone's faces, his face sank, and he suddenly stood up and said to Abatai: "Rao Yu Belle, the brave guards have sharp firearms, how brave the infantry are, even the cavalry is also brave in battle, dare to fight against our cavalry, the last general thinks that it must be taken very seriously!" ”

He said: "The last general thinks that the Yongwei battalion must be removed, otherwise our army will return to the north, they will look at the side, and follow step by step. ”

Abatai had been paying attention to the information about the Yongwei Battalion, and did not despise Yanguli's words, he nodded and said: "What the forehead said is extremely reasonable, since this is the case, then it will be completely killed and exterminated to prevent accidents!" ”

Let's get to the point, everyone is talking about how to break the city at the lowest cost.

The Mongolian generals of the Eight Banners and several Han army armorers kept silent, they were cannon fodder attached to Jiannu, such strategic and tactical matters, they couldn't intervene, anyway, no matter what things were discussed, they were always vanguard cannon fodder.

In the end, Yanguli's tactics made the whole big tent full of applause, including several generals of the Mongol and Han armies, and everyone showed joy.

It turned out that Yanguli was on the way to join the teacher, and Tanma found a large shack area around it, in which about 10,000 people of the Ming Kingdom lived.

Yanguli proposed to use these Ming people to open the way in front, and these Ming people could not only dig up the earth to fill the moat, but also cover the Qing army to attack the city.

This method is not the original of Yanguli, it is a tactic often used by the Qing army in the past, once it encounters the entangled Ming army troops or fortified cities, most of the Qing troops will drive the people to cover in front of the army.

Many of the officials defending the city feared that they would be impeached and bad for their reputation, so they became timid, and the morale of the soldiers below was also easily affected.

Later, the strength of the Ming army deteriorated, and the Qing army easily had hundreds of Ming troops, and gradually this tactic was no longer necessary.
