Soon, Duoduo, the prince of Yu with a solemn face, hurried to Dolgon's tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Dorgon was about to salute, but was hastily stopped by Dorgon.

"Duoduo, don't come to these false courtesies, you can sit down." Dorgon sighed and gestured to the seat next to him.

As soon as Dorgon was seated, Dorgon gave him a brief account of the contents of the sentry's report.

Listening to Dorgon's account, Duoduo also looked extremely surprised, as if he had heard something extremely incredible.

"What do you think, Dordor, that the situation is like this?" Dorgon asked with a grim look on his face.

Duoduo also frowned, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Second brother, with all due respect, the situation is so critical now, I am afraid that it will not be possible to attack Shengjing, we must hurry back to help Yingkou, otherwise, the 50,000 Tang army will attack fiercely, and I am afraid that this Yaozhou City will no longer be owned by my Qing Dynasty." And once Yaozhou is lost, the entire Yingkou area will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy. What's even more terrifying is that with Yaozhou as a foothold, the Tang army can no longer scruple to attack north, first go to Haicheng, and then enter Liaoyang, so that our most basic and critical territory is in jeopardy. ”

With these words, Dorgon spoke to the softest and most fragile part of Dorgon's heart.

If Liaoyang is lost because of his unhappiness in returning, then the 100,000 troops under his command are afraid that their morale will collapse immediately, and they will be out of control.

Of course, in the current situation, if Li Xiao's reaction is a little sluggish, leading to heavy snow blocking the road, so that Li Xiao's army cannot go north, he can still rest assured that Haicheng and Liaoyang will be protected, but, then Li Xiao, will he really stay in Yaozhou City obediently?

If this person gambles hard, how will he continue......

When Dolgon's heart was in a mess, Duoduo's words continued: "Second brother, from the younger brother's point of view, the Tang Army's expedition to our Qing Dynasty must be all elite soldiers, and its combat power must be very considerable. And now there is news from Yaozhou City, more than two days have passed, and the younger brother is only afraid, only afraid of ......"

Hearing Duoduo's worried words, Dolgon's heart suddenly became even more worried, he sighed, but a wry smile appeared on his face: "Duoduo, do you still think that this Yaozhou City is still under the control of our army?" ”

When Duoduo heard this, the look of horror on his face suddenly became more and more obvious, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother, what do you mean, could it be that this Yaozhou City has fallen into the hands of the Tang Army now?" ”

"That's a necessity, so why bother." Dolgon snorted coldly and said: "The Tang army is coming from afar, and it is snowing heavily, they have no foothold, and they must go all out to take this Yaozhou as the foundation of their foothold." In my opinion, the Tang army will do whatever it takes, go all out to attack Yaozhou City, the Tang Army has many excellent artillery to help, and there are elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time as the foundation, it is not difficult to capture this soldier and the city of Yaozhou. ”

Duoduo's face suddenly became very ugly, and he shouted: "If this is the case, then Mel Zhangjing Li Shutai, and Tun Qika, wouldn't they be ......?"

"Death or Surrender." Dolgon interjected coldly: "In the eyes of this king, Li Shutai is very likely to choose to die in the city in order to save his life in Liaoyang, as for Najia Lae Zhen Tunqika, although this person is a subordinate general who has been with me for many years, but he is a lively heart, and he may not choose to die, but he is afraid that he has surrendered to the Tang army now." ”

When Dorgor heard this, he could not help but sigh, and he shook his head, and asked Dorgon; "Second brother, if that's the case, then in your opinion, what should we do now?"

With a wry smile, Dorgon got up from his chair, walked a few steps back and forth in the tent, and then said to Dord, "Dord, I'll tell you the truth, what choice do we have now?" In the eyes of this king, the only plan we have now is to immediately withdraw our camp and return to Liaoyang, Tokyo. “

Duoduo looked worried, but he also nodded again and again: "Second brother is right, our army is now, but to keep Liaoyang and Haicheng from losing, the most important thing is to do so." After all, if the news of the Tang Army's invasion of our Qing Dynasty is known to everyone in Liaoyang City, I am afraid that it will soon be known to the whole army. The Tang army fought for the Yingkou area, and it really gave me a knife in the back of the Qing Dynasty. Not only did I lose the ground in the Qing Dynasty, but it is estimated that the morale of the whole army is also a big setback, so how can our army fight again. Even if you reluctantly attack this Shengjing City again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it. ”

Dolgon also sighed: "That's right, what's more, when the Tang army takes Yaozhou and occupies the entire Yingkou area, Li Xiao will definitely fly the pigeon as quickly as possible to spread the book, so that Haoge in Shengjing City knows, in this way, the morale of him and I can be said to be one and the other, and if you want to capture this Shengjing City, I am afraid it will be impossible." ”

When he said this, he immediately sent an order: "Duoduo, pass on the king's order, after the whole army rests here tonight, tomorrow morning, that is, the front team will change to the rear team and return to Liaoyang." After arriving in Liaoyang, Duoduo you will bring another 20,000 soldiers and horses to urgently aid Haicheng, so as to prevent the Tang army from going north to attack. ”

When Duoduo heard the order, he arched his hand loudly: "Yes, the younger brother obeys the order of the second brother." ”

At dawn the next day, although the heavy snow had decreased a lot, it still did not stop, Dolgon personally commanded the whole army, and returned to Liaoyang again, after this twist and turn, the morale of the whole army almost dropped to the extreme, and the Qing army marching along the way, almost everyone was listless, and everyone was full of worries.

On the contrary, Hauge, who was so anxious about how to resist the siege of Dolgon's army that he could hardly sleep at night, received a handwritten flying pigeon biography from Li Xiao.

Li Xiao told him in the letter that he had successfully arrived at Yingkou and captured Yaozhou City.

"Okay, wow, Lord Li is really powerful, he actually arrived at Yingkou before the sea froze, and it took less than a day to take Yaozhou City, which really makes this king deeply admire."

Sonny on the side also had a happy smile on his face, and he then said: "Prince Su, now that the Tang army has attacked Yaozhou City, Dolgon will definitely not be able to march to Shengjing again, but we can take a breath." In a few days, the road will be closed by heavy snow, and even if Dolgon has arranged the city defenses of Haicheng and Liaoyang, he will no longer be able to attack Shengjing north, but we can rest easy. ”

Hauge nodded again and again: "Sony, you're right, now Dolgon is already anxious, and he can't take care of his head and no longer have the strength to launch an attack on Shengjing City, but I can take a good breath." ”

When he said this, he still said to Sony: "Sony, although Dolgon will no longer attack now, we still have to cherish this rare time, put the city defense in order, and let Shengjing City do a more complete and thorough garrison, so as not to panic like now when Dorgon attacks again in the future." ”

Sonny immediately clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Yes, Prince Su, don't worry, Ao Bai and I will definitely handle the garrison of Shengjing City and ensure that the entire Shengjing City will be guarded by you like an iron bucket." ”

Two days later, Dolgon led the army and returned to Liaoyang.

At this time, he looked tired and bored, and when he saw the ministers who went out of the city to greet them, he greeted them with a strong spirit, and then ordered Duoduo to lead another 20,000 soldiers and horses to Haicheng to set up defenses, and the other 80,000 troops were all stationed on the spot to prevent a possible attack by the Tang army.

Dolgon could clearly feel that after his own order, although the generals below promised to carry out the mission, their spirit was far less sluggish than when they went to attack Shengjing before.

Seeing this scene, Dolgon was even more annoyed, but he could only pretend to be calm on the surface.

A bigger question, from now on, has been lying in his mind, that is, the current Tang Army, even if it has not attacked, but has only been entrenched in the land of Yaozhou, then, like a sharp knife stuck in their back, how will they act in the future, and how should they deal with them, this is really a huge and difficult problem to solve.

For a while, Dolgon's heart was extremely troubled, but there was nothing to be done, and there was no real solution.

He thought sadly, perhaps, now that he can really only take one step at a time.

What was even more unexpected for Dolgon happened two days later.

It turned out that after returning to Liaoyang, Duoduo immediately followed the order of Dolgon, led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and hurried south to Haicheng.

Originally, he thought that he would be smooth sailing without any twists and turns, but he didn't expect that when he came to Ganquan Fort, which was only a few dozen miles away from Haicheng, before crossing the Tuhe River, he saw two Qing army sentry horsemen galloping on horseback.

They galloped and galloped, splashing countless slush along the way, but they did not dare to pause, as if they had something very important to report urgently.

Seeing them like this, Duoduo was suspicious, so he immediately sent for them to be called over, so that he could inquire about them.

When the two men saw the soldiers and horses of the Duoduo tribe, they immediately came with the people who came, and came together to report to the Duoduo. Stopped the horses five paces away from Dordor and stood panting and shouting to Dord.

"Prince Yuyu, something is wrong! There were thousands of Tang cavalry from the south to come in a big way, looking at the situation, as if they were preparing to attack Haicheng, Balamamel Zhangjing in order to prevent the loss of Haicheng, Fang hurriedly sent us and others to the north to ask for help, and also asked Prince Yu to lead his troops to help as soon as possible, so as not to prevent the Tang army from taking advantage of the lack of our army to attack Haicheng. ”

Hearing the report of the sentry horseman, Prince Yu Duoduo immediately frowned, the expression on his face was very ugly, and his heart was full of worries about the situation in Haicheng for a while.

He knew that Barama was the son of Daishan, and he was originally a Daishan with a heart and a horse, and in order to bet on both ends, he made Balama and others take refuge in Dorgon's place.

Therefore, it is very doubtful how reliable the Red Banner soldiers and horses of Barama and others are, and whether they will surrender the city when the Tang Army's soldiers are pressing.

It can be seen that if he can't get there in time, a guy like Barama at both ends of the rat is very likely to quickly surrender to the enemy.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the Tang army to capture Yaozhou, so he quickly went north to attack Haicheng, Li Xiao, this guy, his actions are really decisive and ruthless, but it is really a big surprise, this person's use of military skills is really far above himself......

In the midst of such suspicious thoughts, the sentry took a letter from his bosom and handed it to him respectfully.

Dordor took the letter, which was half-drenched with sweat, and when he opened it, he saw that Barama had written a letter asking for help, and the contents of the letter were exactly what the sentry had said.

Seeing this, Duoduo did not hesitate any longer, and immediately said loudly: "The whole army obeys the order, immediately march towards Haicheng at full speed, and be sure to enter Haicheng as soon as possible, so as not to prevent the Tang army from coming to seize the city." “

"Whew, the minions obey!"

Under Duoduo's order, the whole army immediately gathered its formation, formed a column, and marched towards Haicheng. And the two Tang army sentry horsemen led the way in front.

The 20,000-strong army marched all the way, and after traveling for more than an hour, they saw the Tuhe River that had been frozen into a jade belt, and Duoduo did not hesitate to order the whole army to cross the pontoon bridge on the Tuhe River as soon as possible, so as to rush to Haicheng as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, not long after the departure of the former army, Duoduo suddenly felt an inexplicable entanglement in his heart. After a long battle, he didn't know why, but suddenly he had an extremely ominous feeling in his heart, as if he was about to step into a trap that the enemy had already set up for him.

Because he knew that after crossing the Tuhe River, he would have to pass through the White Wolf Valley, which was about two miles long, before he could finally reach the north gate of Haicheng. So, in the current situation, if the Tang army set up an ambush in the White Wolf Valley in advance and went by itself, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Of course, this premonition does not have any substantial evidence to support it, but there is a letter from the Haicheng defender Balama that the Tang army has only just arrived in the south of Haicheng, and it is too late to set up an ambush in the White Wolf Valley in the north of Haicheng, but this feeling is so strange and yet so strong that Duoduo is anxious and has a feeling of schizophrenia.

He firmly believes that Li Xiao is extremely cunning, he is by no means a good man and a woman, this person has always been full of tricks, if he has the opportunity to set up an ambush in the White Wolf Valley, this guy will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

The current Duoduo, on the one hand, is worried about the safety of the Haicheng garrison, and on the other hand, he is worried that after crossing the Tuhe River, he will be in danger of falling into the trap of the Tang army. For a moment, he was quite anxious.

However, Dordor was a battle-hardened veteran, and with a slight sigh of thought, he quickly ordered the whole army to be divided into two parts, the front and rear, and the two armies were separated enough to ensure that in the event of an attack on the front team, the rear team could react quickly to decide whether to go to the rescue, defend on the spot, or retreat.

Thinking about it, Duoduo immediately ordered the whole army to be divided into two divisions, each with 10,000 soldiers and horses, to open enough distance and continue to advance. After the army crossed the Tu River, the front part of the army marched all the way, but it did not look very unusual.

As the distance lengthened, Duoduo ordered the Sentinels to communicate the front and rear information back and forth, so as not to lose control of the front by traveling too far.

After traveling for more than half an hour, the 10,000 soldiers in the front finally entered the White Wolf Valley.

Hearing that the front army had entered the White Wolf Valley, Duoduo couldn't help but feel nervous, so he immediately ordered the sentry cavalry, asking them to be more vigilant, so as not to ambush the Chinese and Tang troops.

At this time, he kept praying in his heart, hoping that his army could successfully pass through the White Wolf Valley and reach Haicheng, to join Barama's army.

It's just that not long after, he heard two faint cannons in the far White Wolf Valley, and his heart that kept praying suddenly fell into the ice lake in an instant.

"The Tang army that entered the dog, they really set up an ambush in the White Wolf Valley!"
