Thus, the results of this operation of the Manchu army were obvious.

They ran back and forth, from the rear army to the front army, and then to the rear army, and back to the front army, just to see them running back and forth, hurriedly, hurriedly, and rushing back and forth every time there was an emergency, but nothing changed. In this case, even the people of the Ming Dynasty who were robbed were happy in suffering, so they should have watched a monkey show.

It wasn't until the next morning that Dorgon, the Panda-Eyed, waited for Yueto and Haug to return.

He didn't sleep all night, even if his heart was big, he couldn't sleep just after losing the battle. I was worried that the Ming army would be unexpected again, and in turn take advantage of the night to sneak attack on the south bank. It was really these few battles, and the actions of the Ming army made him feel a little unpredictable. In this way, he can't be sloppy, and he has to arrange this defensive matter.

How to fight the next war, he must also think about it. When he returned to Liaodong, how to say to Huang Taiji, he also had to think about it. Anyway, as the head coach, he has too many things to consider.

However, when he heard that Yue Tuo and Haoge's subordinates had returned, he couldn't wait for the two of them to enter the Chinese military tent, and personally greeted them, and just happened to bump into them outside the tent, he couldn't help but ask first: "Is there Lu Xiangsheng's head?" ”

If there is Lu Xiangsheng's head, then killing a person in the Ming Kingdom is also a matter of heart, and Huang Taiji can also explain a thing or two. In addition, the fifty or sixty thousand virtual soldiers behind must have been killed and defeated, there is no need to ask about this, it must be like this. Such a large-scale Ming army can also be regarded as a credit.

As soon as he finished asking, he found that Yue Tuo and Haoge's faces were not good-looking, and suddenly, he felt a sigh in his heart, and couldn't help but ask another question: "Didn't you kill Lu Xiangsheng this time?" ”

"It's not that you didn't kill Lu Xiangsheng!" When Hauge heard this, he immediately broke out and shouted loudly, "There is not even a ghost shadow, the Ming army behind has already run away and is hiding in the city!" You can't let us lead the cavalry to attack the city, can you? What a, running around, playing monkey shows! ”

He looked down on Minggou the most, and as a result, he was played around by Minggou, and of course he was angry.

Upon hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but be stunned! He originally had expectations, but now that his expectations are shattered, the disappointment in his heart can be imagined, and there is one less reason to explain to Huang Taiji.

When I turned my head to look around, I found that all the soldiers in my eyes were demoralized, and I was even more depressed. If the 50,000 or 60,000 Ming troops behind are defeated, regardless of whether they are false or not, as soon as it spreads, at least it can save a lot of morale. But now, it's gone!

At this time, he had to be surprised by Lu Xiangsheng's quick reaction, so he regretted it even more, why didn't he kill Lu Xiangsheng and then withdraw the army in the first place!

Regret not being at the beginning!

However, Dorgon was also a resolute man, and after a little regret in his heart, he put it aside and turned to enter the account, and at the same time gave the order and beat the drum to discuss the matter.

By the time all the leaders arrived, Dolgon was already like a nobody, he glanced down, and saw that these generals were a little dejected, so he said loudly with majesty: "Now the reality of the Ming army, our army has fully known. Ladies and gentlemen, there are only more than 20,000 Ming troops on the other side, and our army has at least 60,000 available troops. With the strength of my Great Qing Dynasty, I will fight more and less, even if there is Wei River separating us, I will definitely be able to fight the shame. Ladies and gentlemen, can you have faith? ”

He analyzed it so clearly, who still has no confidence, then it's strange.

Seeing that the morale of the Chinese army had improved considerably, Dorgon began to formally discuss the next battle.

To their left, there is the triangular lake, which is definitely impossible to pass. And because the triangle is too big, there is no way to detour. Therefore, there is only one way to go, and that is to cross the Wei River.

The result of the discussion did not surprise the Ming army's side, that is, to take advantage of their superiority in strength to carry out a strong attack in many places on the current Wei River to share the strength of the opposing Ming army. Divide a little more attack site, then the opposite side of the force will be less, as long as one point is breached, then it can be reinforced in several other places, and it is impossible for the Ming army to hold the Weihe.

This countermeasure is to speak with strength in a down-to-earth manner, and it must not be false. In this way, that is, on the side of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to concentrate as many troops as possible along the Wei River, and work together to make the Ming army on the opposite bank overstretched.

As soon as this military order was passed down, the Manchu camp immediately began to move. The strength was clearly here, so that the Manchu Tartars realized that they had a good chance of winning, and as a result, morale slowly began to recover. In any case, the defeat at the hands of the Ming army made it a little difficult for them to accept, and they believed that they were only a temporary defeat and would soon be victorious.

On the north bank, at the head of Tianjin City, watching the Tartars on the other side gather more and more, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were worried. Can they see what the Tartars are going to do next? And this happens to be the weakness of the Ming army.

Sun Chuanting looked at it, suddenly sighed, and said a little angrily: "Hey, I have a territory of thousands of miles in the Ming Dynasty, and the number of people is hundreds or thousands of times that of the Tartars, why is the available force so stretched, why?" ”

Hong Chengchou listened and didn't speak, he believed that Sun Chuanting himself knew the answer. However, when he saw that Sun Chuanting was watching him speak, he had no choice but to respond: "It's a pity, with this amount of troops, we have to divide our troops to go out to do other things." No matter what, we can only do our best, and we will spend it! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly saw that Sun Chuanting's eyes were a little wrong, as if he had seen something impossible, so he turned his head to look behind him, and suddenly, his eyes widened. Because there is a Ming army, which is coming from a distance.

At this time, it is still too far away to see clearly. Sun Chuanting couldn't help but ask, "Where will this force come from?" If those guards come, they will only waste a small amount of food, so it is better not to come! ”

In this regard, Hong Chengchou felt the same way, nodded, although he didn't speak, but he echoed his meaning.

The two continued to watch, and after waiting for a while, it was Sun Chuanting again, and said in a somewhat incredulous tone: "Isn't this the grain army we sent out?" Don't...... Could it be that the people have robbed all the food? Or do you want to disperse in a hurry, regardless of the cold and hunger? ”

He couldn't figure it out, how could this Ming army turn back?

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and said in the same puzzlement: "Looking at the number of people, it seems that it has not decreased, that is, there is no trace of hands." It's impossible, those people will take care of themselves and don't need the army to guard the food, right? ”

In this regard, both of them actually did not believe it in their hearts. With that bit of food, I can only boil porridge to eat every day. When will the people of the Ming Dynasty be so obedient? Even if you are obedient, there are nearly 200,000 people, and there are not a few ruffians and hooligans among them, and there are no people who form gangs and factions to occupy more food?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!

Since you can't figure it out, you have to ask.

After the leader of the generals came back, he didn't even wait for the two of them to speak, and directly said: "Lord Governor, Lord Zhongcheng, the last general met the sincere uncle sent by the emperor halfway, and he specially rushed to settle the people who were rescued by our army at the behest of the emperor. Chengyi Bo explained to the last general that there is a shortage of troops here, let the last general come back quickly, and the emperor has already made a will over there, and everything will be handed over to him. ”

When Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise. The emperor actually considered it in advance and solved a big trouble for them.

Thinking of all the things before, the two of them couldn't help but respect the emperor from the bottom of their hearts at this time.

This respect is not because he is the emperor, but because Emperor Chongzhen anticipated their difficulties everywhere, solved their difficulties in time, and created a foundation for them to win the battle.

If they have played Glory of Kings, they can know that Emperor Chongzhen at this time actually played a supporting role, and this auxiliary role is very well done, so that junglers or shooters can harvest heads very freely, or output unscrupulously. It's strange if you don't win such a game!

Although Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting didn't know that there would be a Glory of the Earth King Game in the future, their feelings were the same as those assisted junglers and shooters, and they were very comfortable.

Both of them sighed from the bottom of their hearts: Such a wise and martial emperor is very rare among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!

At this moment, although the two of them had to face several times the number of Jianyu troops on the other side, in their hearts, they suddenly reduced a lot of worries, and their confidence increased invisibly.

With more unexpected troops, the two feudal officials who led the troops immediately re-discussed, no matter what, at least use Weihe to snipe, and then consume the strength of Jianyu first!

On the side of the Manchu Tartars, there were already troops on the north bank who had fled back one after another, but they did not see Turg returning. Dolgon estimates that Turg is estimated to have died on the North Shore. In this way, the responsibility for his defeat cannot be justified, and anything can be pushed on his head.

Of course, in Dolgon's view, it is indeed the responsibility of Turg, he can see clearly on the south bank, and Turg even made a stupid move to defeat the Qing army on the north bank!

Next, he didn't care about Turg's affairs and began to concentrate on the current war.

The Manchu army followed the Wei River, trying out areas where the ice was relatively thick, or where the river was relatively narrow, and began to attack. They had many archers, and they could use them as cover, laying planks on one side and making simple chariot cover with planks on the other.

On the side of the Ming army, they also mobilized archers and firecrackers to block the attack, and even brought in a few cannons to aim at the bombardment. When it was closer, it was the soldiers with long weapons who went into battle.

On the side of the Manchu army, they often took advantage of the night to do smuggling. Even on the surface of the river, where there are not many people and do not attract attention, rolling over the ice, unlucky, when the ice is thin around the center of the river, it falls down to feed the fish; Luckily, they sneaked to the north shore.

However, on the side of the Ming army, there were patrol posts along the Wei River, and no one dared to be sloppy, and they could soon find the scattered Tartars smuggled over, and they would not be given the opportunity to gather a lot, and they would be suppressed immediately.

In addition, the Ming army often took the initiative to destroy the ice surface, or burned and melted, or smashed the ice with a sledgehammer. Although the weather is very cold, and it will freeze again when you turn around, it is still useful no matter what.

All in all, the two sides fought with wisdom and courage after crossing the river. Both sides tried their best to send their troops, but the Jianyu took the initiative, while the Ming army was forced, day and night, using all kinds of means, to fight all the time.

Slowly, as Dolgon and others expected, the overstretched strength of the Ming army was revealed. With the entire Wei River full of Tartars trying to cross the river, the Ming army had to send more troops, and there was no rotation at all.

Seeing all this, and noticing the fatigue of the Ming army on the opposite side, Dolgon finally showed a happy look, and said to the Tartar leader around him with great confidence: "In two more days, the Ming army will definitely not be able to survive, and it will definitely be broken through to the opposite bank by our army!" ”

When Hauge heard this, he couldn't help but say: "What are you going to do in two days, if we increase our troops, we can drag down the Ming army and attack it directly!" ”

After finishing speaking, he began to complain again: "Those people of the Ming Kingdom don't know where they were transferred by the Ming army, the later they go, the more difficult it is to find, and our grain and grass materials are cheap Ming dogs on the other side!" ”

Yue Tuo listened to it and felt that it made sense, and also suggested that Dolgon said: "There is no Ming army behind us, or we can transfer a little more men and horses from Anping Belle, this is the last straw, and it will definitely be able to immediately drag down the Ming army on the other side." In this way, we may be able to recover a lot of losses by sending out cavalry. ”

Hearing this, Dolgon looked up at the other side, and finally nodded and said: "Well, now we only have half of the population and materials in our hands, and the hard work of the past few months is gone, and this king is also ashamed of the soldiers who entered the customs together." In that case, some more troops will be drawn up to recover some losses as much as possible. When I return to Liaodong, it is good that each flag can score more. ”

If he brought back more loot and the credit was greater, when he went back to explain to Huang Taiji, he would be easy to talk about, and he might be able to cover up the two defeats since he entered the customs.

Dorgon agreed, and of course a military order was issued.

Then Dorgon came to a solitary tent, surrounded by real Tartars, and heavily guarded. He would come over every day to make an inspection, and when he saw King De and other clans doing well, he felt a little more confident in his heart. In any case, this is the first time in the Qing Dynasty that the Ming clan can be captured this time, and it must be a great achievement.

However, he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen at this time actually wanted him to loot all the kings of the Ming Dynasty, and it was best to loot the whole family. You will be given all your treasures. It's just a pity that when 100,000 Manchu troops entered the customs, they plundered a Dewang Mansion.

What Dolgon didn't know was that his new round of troop transfer finally alarmed the lurking Lu Xiangsheng.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng only had a thousand horsemen, which was not enough for the huge Manchu Qing army. And the Manchus were not unguarded, they had scouts scattered around the camp. His advantage is to be surprised, so he only has one chance.

As for when to use this opportunity, Lu Xiangsheng is not an immortal, nor has he eavesdropped on the seeds, so he doesn't know the situation on the front line, so he can only wait for the opportunity to appear.

No, he heard that the lurking night did not reap, and that the Tartars had drawn troops from the rear and headed north. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately made a decision. Can't wait any longer, wait any longer, I don't know how long the friendly forces on the north bank of the Wei River will be able to hold out! Something must be done to give a strong support to the friendly forces.
