Hauge gritted his teeth, but still walked over to Dolgon, and then bowed his hand and said: "Prince Rui, the cavalry of the Tang Army is extremely sharp, although our army temporarily formed a formation to meet them, it was difficult to defeat them, so that most of them were lost......"

To Hauge's surprise, when he said this, Dorgon barely looked at him, his eyes staring straight ahead, as if he didn't exist.

Hauge froze, not knowing whether to continue, but at this moment, Dorgon just waved his hand irritably, telling him to step back.

Hauge was stunned for a moment, not knowing what medicine Dolgon was selling, but he didn't have much to say, so he could only hum sullenly and go back to the headquarters.

Of course he didn't know it, but in fact, Dorgon's anger at him was almost impossible to increase now.

The Haoge Department had 10,000 soldiers and horses, and in this way, they were immediately defeated by the Tang cavalry in a charge, and then they were all wiped out on the ground.

And Hauge's fiasco actually means that this second attack on the inner city of Vladivostok Fort has been a complete failure, and it is completely impossible to take this inner city of Vladivostok.

Of course, Dorgon knew how hard the defeat in this battle would be a blow to his prestige.

It's a sigh, it's a pity that since he took charge of the military power instead of Huang Taiji, he didn't win a battle, but lost the first battle, so that the Qing Dynasty and the opposition will have serious doubts about their ability as Prince Rui.

Although he can entrust the main cause of the defeat to Haoge, as the commander-in-chief, he cannot shirk his responsibility for the serious defeat of Haoge's department.

Of course, Dolgon did not think about using this opportunity to punish Hauge on the spot for the crime of defeating the army, and completely eliminate a potential competitor, but after some careful consideration, Dorgon still decided to let Hauge live for the time being.

After all, the current self is far from being able to do whatever he wants, although the emperor Taiji is demented, but after all, he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Hauge is his eldest son, Dolgon's courage is not big enough to dare to replace the emperor to make a decision on the life and death of a prince.

Dolgon knew very well that if he wanted to get rid of Hauge, he must wait until he had mastered the entire political and military affairs of the Qing Dynasty before he could start acting like this, otherwise he would only bring unnecessary trouble to himself if he was in too haste.

Haug was soon approached by both Dodor and Abatay, both angry and dissatisfied.

Dorgon glanced at them coldly, not saying a word.

Duoduo, whose chest was heaving and angry, couldn't help but say sharply to Dolgon: "Second brother, why is it that since our army is about to take the inner city of Vladivostok Fort, the Tang army defenders are about to collapse, but you ordered the withdrawal of the army, but why?!" “

Dordor spoke very strongly, full of resentment and anger. But Dorgon didn't speak, just a sharp gaze that struck at Dodor's face.

Undeterred, Dodor glared at Dorgon.

On the other hand, Abatai, seeing the tense atmosphere of the two brothers, hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker, and he hurriedly said: "Prince Yu, Prince Rui ordered the withdrawal of troops, presumably there must be helplessness, as a deputy general, just follow the order, how can we doubt the decision of the main general." “

Listening to Abatai's words, Dorgor did not move, but a look of pain flashed on Dorgon's face.

He knew that the defeat in this battle had put his prestige and determination into question like never before, and that if he could not give the Dordor a reasonable explanation, it would only make him more passive.

After all, when he first took charge of military and political power, his control over his subordinates was far from being as deep-rooted as Huang Taiji, and even Duoduo, who was the most loyal to himself, had many doubts about his first power.

Dorgon sighed lightly, gritted his teeth, and replied, "Dordor, this king has made this decision because of many unavoidable reasons. Do you think that now that our army has achieved a comprehensive advantage in the siege operation, it is almost about to take this inner city, and at such a critical juncture, the withdrawal of troops will not be sad in the heart of this king, and it will not be painful? Wrong! Tell you, this king's heart is more heartbroken than anyone else, and more sad than anyone else! ”

Dolgon paused and continued: "This king originally thought that when the Tang army came to help, our army would be able to successfully destroy the remnants of the Tang army defending the city, quickly take the entire inner city, and then defend the city, so as to fight against the Tang army's reinforcements. But as you can see, when our army was still fighting hard with the defenders of the Tang army, the Hauge division had been completely defeated by the Tang cavalry that came to help, and its troops and horses were completely collapsed. ”

Dolgon let out a long sigh and continued with a look of regret: "At this time, the situation has suddenly deteriorated like this, if we don't quickly withdraw the soldiers and horses on the three walls of the north, south and west, and wait for the reinforcements of the Tang army to further gather before launching a general attack on our army, our army will be in danger of complete collapse!" This king is now in command, how can Meng Lang act, how can he rashly put my 50,000 siege soldiers and horses in such a dangerous situation! If these siege soldiers fail, this king and you will become the greatest sinners of the Qing Empire! ”

At this point, Dorgon let out another long sigh.

Duoduo gritted his teeth and tightened his face, but in the end he didn't say anything.

In fact, he also knew that the situation had changed so quickly that it had completely exceeded his prediction of the battle situation, and Dorgon's move was really helpless.

After all, people are not as good as heaven, the sudden arrival of the Tang army's reinforcements, as well as their fast and strong actions, made the entire battle situation suddenly change, and it is impossible to continue to master the battle process as before.

After all, in such an urgent and dangerous situation, ignoring reality and blindly rigidly implementing the original plan, it would inevitably put the Qing army in the predicament of being attacked inside and outside the Tang army, which was extremely irresponsible.

Duoduo snorted, but asked in a deep voice: "Second brother, since this is the case, then what are you going to do next?" Will you continue to fight to the death with the Tang army here, or will you withdraw your troops in order to plan for the future? ”

When Dorgon heard this, his face was filled with grief again, and he sighed: "Dordor, there is a way, one drum, then decline, three exhaustion, and now after this great defeat, the morale of our army is almost gone, and the loss of troops is so much, if we want to wait for the morale to recover again, we know when it will be restored!" On the Tang Army's side, the soldiers and horses who came to help must be very considerable, and they won the first battle, and their morale is extremely strong, how can they compete with it again. This Vladivostok Fort can only be given up ......"

At this point, Dolgon's throat choked unconsciously and could hardly continue. Both Dordor and Abatai were speechless.

Yes, up to now, the Qing army has lost nearly 30,000 soldiers, and the original 100,000 troops have lost nearly 30,000 people, and the loss has reached one-third, because of continuous setbacks, morale is very low, how can the Qing army still have the capital and ability, and then fight with the Tang army, which is strong and morale.

Seeing that the two of them were speechless, Dorgon let out a long sigh and replied, "Since you have no objections, then so be it." The whole army packed up and made preparations today, and then quietly withdrew overnight, and the whole army retreated to Shengjing. ”

"Yes!"

Duoduo and Abatai clenched their fists together and responded loudly.

Seeing that the Qing army withdrew from the outer city like a tide and retreated into the field, the cheers of all the Tang troops defending the city were like a tide, and the sound shook the sky.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Kill the Tartars, make a meritorious name!"

"Kill the Tartars, go to heaven!"

……

Li Dingguo, the scarred and exhausted general of the defenders, saw that the Qing army had finally retreated, and then saw the remnants of more than 1,000 defenders in the city, and saw the blood and corpses all over the inner and outer cities, and his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

What a difficult and fortunate victory!

If it weren't for the desperate fight of his subordinates who repelled the attacks of the Qing army again and again, if it weren't for the urgent reinforcements of the Tang Army at this last critical juncture, perhaps, the current inner city of Vladivostok Fort would have been the Qing army cheering for victory.

In order to defend this Vladivostok fort, the Tang army fought nearly 15,000 soldiers, and only more than 1,000 people remained.

At this time, among the defending soldiers who were also shouting loudly and cheering for victory, Zhang Ercheng, the nineteen-year-old auxiliary captain who had broken his ribs, was now also in tears, his voice trembling and crazy.

He thought of many Tang Army brothers who sacrificed their lives to defend the city, and thought of Zhao Jiu, Li Laiwang, Zhang Scar and other ordinary people, but showed loyalty to the Tang Army with their lives and guarded the dignity and glory of the Tang Army.

Brothers, our Vladivostok Fort has been defended, and finally it has been held at this critical last moment, and the heroic souls of your brothers who died bravely can leave with peace of mind.

May you all go to the heaven of eternal peace and tranquility, and if there is an afterlife, you can all be reborn in a peaceful and prosperous world......

Just as the Qing army withdrew from the outer city one after another and retreated to the main formation outside the city, the infantry units, which were the main force of the Tang army, finally all landed on the shore and marched towards Vladivostok Fort with rolling iron streams.

The main general, Cao Bianjiao, the battalion commander of the C battalion in Pingnan Town, was fully armored, the army was clean, and he personally led his troops to march. The wind lifted his bright red cloak like a flag flying in the air.

Along the way, he saw from a distance that Vladivostok Fort, which had just experienced a major battle, was already in shambles, with blood and corpses all over the inner and outer cities.

It's not easy, you can imagine what kind of extremely dangerous conditions the Tang army defending the city was, going through hardships and paying heavy sacrifices, before finally winning this battle to defend the city, and the victory of this war came too hard.

And seeing the reinforcements of the Tang army coming, the remnants of the Tang army defending the city burst into a thunderous cheer.

They saw that it was the soldiers and horses of the C Battalion of the Tang Army in Pingnan Town, and these fraternal troops who had fought side by side with them on Luzon, Mindanao, New Guinea, and the Australian mainland had now come to their rescue at the most critical time.

Repair my spear and have the same enmity with the son.

Compared with the selfish and indifferent Ming army, which was common to sell its teammates, the various brother units of the Tang Army, under Li Xiao's institutional planning, would definitely do their best to rescue each other and help each other.

Soon, Cao Bianjiao and Li Dingguo finally met at the east gate of the inner city.

Seeing that Li Dingguo, as the head of a town, was covered in blood, covered with scars, and stood like a sculpture in the cold wind, Cao Bianjiao was shocked, and the more inexplicable he sighed in his heart.

It's so dangerous, if you come one step late, the inner city of Vladivostok Fort should definitely fall, and the mayor Li Dingguo and all the soldiers guarding the fort are afraid that they will all die in the hands of the Qing army. And the painstakingly built Vladivostok Fort will also become the occupation of the Qing army.

"My subordinates have seen Mayor Li."

A few steps away, Cao Bianjiao knelt on one knee and was about to salute Li Dingguo's subordinates, but Li Dingguo quickly walked over and pulled him up.

"There's no need to be polite, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Bianjiao, we would have all been captured by the Qing army." Li Dingguo said emotionally.

"When the subordinate came late, he trapped Mayor Li and the brothers of Camp A in such a dangerous situation, Cao was so ashamed that he asked Mayor Li to punish him." Cao Bianjiao pleaded respectfully.

Li Dingguo smiled on his face, and said lightly: "Battalion Commander Cao doesn't have to blame himself so much, it is not easy to arrive in time for this thousands of miles of troops, and now he can successfully defend the inner city of Vladivostok Fort, and Li Mou's mind is enough." “

After he finished speaking, his two big hands were tightly clasped together.

Subsequently, Li Dingguo ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then took Cao Bianjiao into the official office in the inner city to talk in detail.

In the hall of the official office, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Cao Bianjiao said to Li Dingguo: "Mayor Li, this time I came to help, and I also had an order from the King of Pingliao to tell Mayor Li. ”

"Oh, please change Jiao, although it is said, Li must obey his fate."

"Mayor Li, this time the Qing army entered Vladivostok Fort, and King Pingliao had expected it, so he hurriedly dispatched the soldiers and horses of the C battalion to the north to rescue. The prescience of King Pingliao was really impressed. ”

Cao Bianjiao paused, and then said: "In the order given by the King of Pingliao, it was said that after repelling the invasion of the Qing army, if the A battalion led by Mayor Li suffered too heavy losses, he would let Cao lead the C battalion of soldiers and horses to continue to guard Vladivostok Fort, and Mayor Li led the soldiers and horses of the A battalion to return to Shandong by the ship of the naval division to rest and replenish on the spot. ”

Li Dingguo nodded, and immediately replied solemnly: "The order of the King of Pingliao, Li Mou obeyed his orders, then after the Qing army withdrew, I will lead my troops back to Shandong." “

After Li Dingguo finished saying this, he said with a suspicious face: "It's just that Li is thinking, after the defeat of the Qing army, but I don't know, will I fight back and attack my Vladivostok Fort again?" ”
