In this battle, the Qing Dynasty was still the main defense, and the Ming army came to attack. What I never expected was that this Dongjiang army was so powerful, if it hadn't been for the weakness of the North Korean army, it would have really failed!

What's more critical is that he has more than 10,000 troops in his hands, of which there are more than 1,000 white-armored soldiers alone. The other soldiers are actually elites. But even so, they almost lost!

Yue Tuo thought about these things, and his heart was even more worried. Before, I was worried that there were too many troops on my side, and the Ming army was afraid that they would not come to help. Now that I think about it, it's really funny!

This battle, although on the surface, was to hold the camp and not let the Ming army succeed, as if it had won. However, Yue Tuo sighed, and looked at the city of Pyongyang, which was also a little dim in the dark night, with an unusually heavy expression.

Before this battle, the Qing army had always had a psychological advantage over the Ming army. Even if Yingordai was attacked by the Ming army and the whole army was wiped out before, it did not affect this psychological advantage on the side of the Qing Dynasty.

Because of that battle, for the Qing Dynasty, it was more of a sneak attack by the Ming army, not a crime of war, but a drag by pig teammates. Because, even if the whole army is annihilated, from the perspective of the Qing army, the Qing Dynasty is still invincible in the field, or even if it is not invincible in the field, but as long as the same number of Ming troops are there, it will be able to win if the Qing army fights casually.

However, this battle wiped out this advantage in the hearts of the Qing army. You must know that in this battle, the Qing army's side, in fact, was more numerical than the Ming army in terms of numbers. As for the DPRK army, this kind of accomplishment is not enough and there is more than defeat, so it is completely ignored.

Yue Tuo had already discovered this on the way to the camp gate to observe Pyongyang just now. As I saw along the way, most of the Qing soldiers were demoralized and their mood was very wrong.

Although in Yue Tuo's view, if this battle does not count the losses of the North Korean army, then the casualties of the Qing army and the Ming army should be about the same, and they did not suffer much. However, in terms of morale, he can be sure in his heart that he will definitely be more hit than the Ming army.

Thinking like this, Yue Tuo was a little skeptical, could this big battalion still be able to hold it? Tomorrow morning, what if the Ming army persevers and continues to attack in a big way? Can you still resist the attack of the Ming army?

As a manager, he had to think about it.

After a long time, Yue Tuo made a decision.

At the same time, outside Tashan City in Ningjin, Emperor Chongzhen learned about the war outside Pyongyang for the first time through the Grade A eavesdropping seed on Lu Xiangsheng's body.

He was not happy about this, but heartache.

In order to rebuild the Dongjiang Army, Emperor Chongzhen spent a lot of effort. Is it easy to make such an elite?

The losses of the army have not yet been counted, but it is estimated that the casualties will certainly not be small. Emperor Chongzhen scolded in his heart, "Lu Xiangsheng, this loser", and began to think about how to support Lu Xiangsheng.

However, it is too far, and there is no plane to transport troops, and there is no phone to call Lu Xiangsheng directly, so if you want to affect that side, it is really a bit out of reach.

The most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen knew through the eavesdropping seeds on Yingordai and others that Huang Taiji led the army to Zhenjiang Fort, just like a tiger in the jungle, waiting there, as long as the war in Pyongyang is reported to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji will lead the army into North Korea and sweep all the way, just with Lu Xiangsheng's little strength, if you fight hard, there will be no chance of winning at all!

He was thinking about this, and suddenly noticed that there was a movement in the C-level eavesdropping seed on Dolgon's body, so he went to see the news from Dolgon's side first.

In Tashan City, the light of the thick fire candles illuminated the lobby, and the wind blowing from outside the hall could not blow out these fire candles, but it made the hall brighter and darker, which looked a little weird.

Dolgon sat on the main seat, glanced at the Qing generals below, frowned, and suddenly said: "The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is prepared this time, and the three major battalions are all elite, with as many as fifty or sixty thousand people. And our army only has more than 10,000 points, if we let the Ming army surround it, this battle, we are more than lucky! ”

"Master, our side has severed contact with Haizhou, and there will definitely be a horse scouting to investigate the situation. When the time comes, the emperor will know and will definitely send reinforcements. A Jianyu leader was not worried at all, and immediately responded, "When the time comes, the internal and external attacks, I don't know if the emperor of the Ming Kingdom can be captured by my Qing Dynasty!" ”

"That's right, master, this battle, it's not our chance to clear up!" The other leader of the Jianyu also chimed in, his face full of excitement.

“……”

Listening to the words of these subordinates, Dolgon's face was extremely serious, and he immediately shook his head and interrupted them, "We don't have reinforcements, so don't think about this!" ”

"Huh?" When the leader of Jianyu heard this, he was extremely surprised and said, "Master, this is impossible, right?" ”

"That's right, the emperor can't abandon us!"

“……”

For the uproar in the hall, Dolgon slapped the table and made a "pop" sound, interrupting their noise, and then shouted coldly: "The emperor has transferred the main force in the country, and at this time he should have gone to Zhenjiang Fort to prepare to fight in Korea, and by the way, destroy the Dongjiang army of the Ming Kingdom." Therefore, Liaodong is empty here, and there will not be enough troops to rescue us! ”

When Dorgon received the Emperor's will and set out, the others had not moved, because his men did not know the whole situation. When I heard it at this time, my mouth suddenly opened wide, and I didn't know how to speak for a while?

They are all battle-hardened, and they can naturally see from the battle during the day that the army of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is indeed the elite of the Ming Kingdom. Now the Ming army is several times larger than its own, and as soon as it comes, it will immediately build fortifications and besiege the city, obviously to destroy them all.

If there are reinforcements from outside, then they are not worried at all, and they are even excited, they can't take down this bold Ming Emperor. However, if there are no reinforcements outside, it will be really dangerous with the strength of the troops in Tower Hill.

Seeing their expressions, Dorgon knew that they had understood how dangerous the current situation of the Qing army would be. Therefore, he did not remain silent anymore, but immediately said solemnly: "This battle is no longer about separating the victory or defeat with the Ming army, but how to break through with more people before the Ming army launches an offensive!" ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, his gaze slowly swept over the eyes of all the leaders of the Jianyu below, and then said sharply: "This king has decided to break through tonight while the Ming army's foothold is not stable, and while the Ming army's siege fortifications have not been completed!" ”

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the Guardians present were shocked by Dolgon's decisiveness. Although they knew in their hearts that with the city defense of Tashan, they would definitely not be able to prevent the attack of the Ming army. However, on the first night of the arrival of the Ming army, Prince Rui decided to immediately break through the siege overnight, and it seems that it is rare in the history of the Qing Dynasty to escape in such a hurry!

Thinking like this, there was a leader of Jianyu, who reminded Dolgon a little hesitantly: "Master, if you don't insist for a day, after you go back, I'm afraid that some villains will impeach your master in front of the emperor." ”

As soon as he heard this, Dorgon immediately waved his hand and said categorically: "If you want to be impeached, you can be impeached, and this king does not care." Don't fight a war with no chance of winning, this is what this king has to consider. Only the sooner the siege is broken, the more Qing soldiers this king can bring back. As long as the green mountains are left, there is no worry about no firewood! ”

As soon as they heard that Dolgon was not afraid of personal punishment and that he had to consider the whole army, these leaders of the captives were all in awe, and immediately knelt on the ground, expressing their absolute obedience to Dolgon's command.

Seeing this, Dolgon didn't say much, and directly began to talk about things: "This king expects that the Ming army will definitely guard against our army's breakthrough, but he definitely won't expect our army to break through with all its strength tonight!" Therefore, tonight's battle must be fought from the east to the west, and someone needs to artificially cover the main force to attract the attention of the Ming army. ”

…………

Dolgon was talking, and Emperor Chongzhen was watching. Seriously, he really didn't expect that Dolgon would be so bold that as soon as he found out that something was wrong, he immediately broke through with the whole army, and he deserved to be one of the most famous leaders in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, even if you Dolgon are the Monkey King, then you can't turn over my Buddha's palm! Emperor Chongzhen thought so, his heart was happy, and he immediately passed down the decree and convened a secret military meeting.

The emperor sent an edict, and the general soldiers of all armies naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately quietly came to see the driver.

In the tent of the Chinese army, the general soldiers and supervisors of the three major battalions gathered together. They were a little strange and didn't know what the emperor meant by summoning them so secretly?

After seeing the salute, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said to them: "I expect that tonight Jianyu will definitely go all out to break through, therefore, to solve the Jianyu of Tashan, in a battle tonight, all the armies must use their lives, and the battle will determine Tashan." ”

For him, this is also a bonus!

Originally, he was worried about how to affect the war on the Korean side. But in any case, the first reason is that the distance is too far; The second reason is that he wants to deal with Dorgon's captive army, which is hiding in Tower Hill anyway. Even if the defense of Tower Hill is not very good, it is simply impossible to attack it without wanting to suffer too many casualties.

Now, Dolgon wants to break through overnight, which gives Emperor Chongzhen the opportunity to quickly deal with Dolgon's army, then he will have more thoughts to influence the Korean side.

Hearing his opening remarks, everyone in the Chinese military tent almost unanimously showed a look of disbelief.

The people in Tashan are Jianjiao, and they have always had an advantage in fighting with the Ming army. Not to mention anything else, there are more than 10,000 prisoners in Tashan City, how can they be so unconfident, on the first night of the siege, they will go all out to break through, this is obviously impossible, right? If Emperor Chongzhen said that there would be a sneak attack tonight, then they might all believe it.

Thinking so, Huang Degong came out and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general has been in the Guanning army for many years, and he has fought a lot with Jianyu. Your Majesty may not know that these captives are all extremely fierce people, and often ten captives dare to chase and kill our army for more than 30 nights. In the vast majority of battles, Jianyu dared to attack more with less, and was very strong. Therefore, the last general thought that although they lost the first battle during the day, they would not break through with their whole army tonight! ”

"Your Majesty, the last general seconded the proposal!" As soon as Cao Bianjiao waited for him to finish speaking, he also followed the line, clasped his hands into fists and said, "The last general was in the Guanning Army with his uncle back then, and he also knew Jianyu. The last general thought that if Jianlu did not fight a fierce battle with our army, and let them realize that there was absolutely no possibility of victory, they should not immediately flee with the whole army. If this is the case, the other Jianyu will also look down on this Jianguo army. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was not angry at their rebuttal, but with a faint smile, he listened to them admonishing himself.

Huang Degong, Cao Bianjiao and others, it is not wrong to understand Jianyu. But, I have eavesdropping seeds, you know?

Therefore, after a few of them finished speaking, he said confidently: "Zhu Qing is afraid that you don't know that this general of the captivity, Dolgon, is a rare wise general among the captives. He is a person who knows how to forbear, and he doesn't take personal honor and disgrace very seriously. In the daytime battle, he had already seen the strength of our army. And he knew that Liaodong was empty, and no reinforcements had arrived. Rather than waiting until the army of Tower Hill is exhausted and then trying to break through, he will definitely choose to break through as soon as possible to preserve the living force of Jianyu! ”

Hearing this, all of a sudden, these people below were shocked again. They didn't expect that the emperor thought more than they seemed to do, and analyzed it from the character of the chief general? It seems to make a lot of sense to say this.

But no matter what, Jian Yu has a long reputation, and they really have to break through with all their might tonight, I always feel a little incredible!

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care what they thought, and while scanning them, he continued to speak: "That Dolgon is cunning, and he must be worried that our army will be prepared, so he will definitely use his voice to attack the west. At noon tonight, at the third watch, we will send a daring army out of the east gate to create a huge offensive to attract the attention of our army. Then its main force will break out from the west gate and break out. ”

These people in the military tent in the "......", whether they are generals or supervising the army, are a little incredible, can the emperor even count this?

They were thinking that Emperor Chongzhen had already put away his smile and said solemnly: "This army of daring to die, if I expected it to be good, should send the Han army in the Jianyu army, they don't know the real battle plan of Jianzhen, they thought it was just an ordinary night attack out of the city, and Dolgon gave a heavy reward, the number of which is about two thousand." After the war is in full swing, more than 8,000 captives will be killed from the West Gate. Where is Lu Qing? ”

As soon as Lu Da heard this, he immediately stepped forward to listen to the order, and the task he received was to ambush at the east gate, and when the Jianyu Han army went out of the city to attack at night, stabilize the position, and annihilate as much as he could, just wait for dawn.

The rest of the general army was all transferred to the west gate, and the ambush was prepared, waiting for the captives to drill into the ambush circle.

After the task was arranged, Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "In a battle tonight, I will solve these prisoners." Wait, don't let me down! ”

"The last will obey!" Many of the general soldiers in the Chinese military tent responded in unison. However, they thought in their hearts that since the emperor was so sure, then they should first do what the emperor wanted. I'm afraid, the emperor swears so much, and it will be difficult to meet you tomorrow during the day.
